i sat on the sv @ the dealer and we had a long conversation. he just affirmed my thoughts on lowering and its effect on handling. Im rather in a quandary. the 250ninja? what was i thinking. i was on crack for about 2 weeks i suppose. that being said, i may not get my sportsbike... at the end of the day, i need a bike that i can touch ground with. when i ride the superhawk, its so heavy, it leaves my calves burning when I try to support it at long lights on one leg leaning. one day last year after a good deal of cornering practice, i dropped it after i stopped. i rode too long and when i got off i was just too tired to support. im not unfit either. so we are shopping around and doing research right now. maybe a ninja 500 will satisfy. we'll see.

hey how long is that drive from cbus anyway? i was thinking a stop in hersey as well just to mix it up. the one place i want to go is the flight 93 landmark but i dont think its monumented for the public yet. that will likely have to wait

hi there! just read your msg about the superhawk. it remains my greatest dillemma. but the torque-y-ness has become somewhat of an addiction for me. i love and hate this bike all the same.. hate only bc its so powerful and i can't touch ground.. luve it bc when im not on it, i want to be

yeah i wouldnt want to aim high.. is there a better option without sacrificing handling? suspension is gonna affect that if you lower no matter what anyone says. i kind of fixed on the idea that my feet must touch the ground. 5"2, what are u gonna do?

im used to a vtwin actually. i ride hubs honda superhawk 1000. i love it. i love it on sooo many levels. but its massively heavy and when i come to long stop lights, my calf aches bc i can only use one foot to hold up the bike. not really a safe option. im still only one year riding street. i grew up riding dirtbikes so i have plenty of mx experience behind me. street is so different thou. if i were taller, i would have so many more options. i hesitate to lower a bike, such as the sv, for fear of truly affecting overall handling. riding a bigger bike has so many advantages though. you just feel smoother and safer.
