I learnt the pothole lesson on my 5hp scooter
- but I essentially agree with you that a smaller bike would make a lot more sense -
In my 20s I had a few small capacity very crappy bikes so I have a little experience- mostly with crashing them actually.
In all honesty I would have preferred to get the Bonnie as I liked the looks and the price but I just felt the dynamics of it, the build quality, the engine , the gear box were all really lacking for me. It is not the power of the Sprint I liked - it was the stability and general all around quality that impressed me.
Anyway you have convinced me to give the SV650 a test ride at some point.
