I looove aggressive riding positions. I broke my tailbone and its sooo much more comfy leaning forward than sitting back. You must be getting old....almost time for a harley  :laugh:

I sat on a bunch of bikes at the deal a couple days ago. The SV650s and the SV650 are definatly very different in seating. I liked the S a lot, felt a lot like the GSXR 600. The SV650, non S, felt like it would be a lot like the GS, except it felt like the handlebars were closer together than on the GS.

Well, it's not like I have the money for a new bike anyway...  I'm trying to buy a house.  :o

Yeah, same here. I just can't wait till a couple years after I get the house, then maybe I will be able to buy a new toy.

Yeah, the foot pegs on the S are high, and really far back, and the handle bars are low.  Very committed riding position, but you can get used to it.   I'm 6'2" or so, and I fit just fine on it.  So if you're 6'4", it might only cramp your legs up, but your arms will be fine.
