Sv is a good bike with lots of potential. I would look for a shadow 600 and put him on it...when he isnt happy and thats top of the budget start shredding craigslist. Put him on this site and have him scsn some photo galleries

also hes look for a cruiser because hes going to be riding two up with his girlfriend and want to be comfortable and he says he doesnt want a rocket because they hurt his back but he hasnt really ridden many bikes just his kz my fzr a few times and our other brothers z1000 once so i think i just need to get him in the saddle of some good bikes
Maybe a sv650n?
Upright bars, round headlight. LOTS of potential.

The Ninja 650r looks good naked. Show him er6n as an example, but he won't find one that cheap. They also have VERY upright bars... so much that he'll probably want some a bit lower ($30-$60).

so we were out bar hopping with some buddies and normally we only have a couple beers but somebody decided to buy some shots and you all know where that leads...:doh:
long story short he sideswiped me hard and at a good clip too as i was slowing down to turn...
i was fine but he broke his collar bone bad enough to need surgery and a titanium plate, it was an expensive lesson but neither of us will even touch a drink if were riding or driving anymore... it could have been a lot worse
but i digress, the yzf is now well on its way to being a full blown fighter with an mt-03 light and r1 forks, i may start a build thread once we get it on the road hopefully in the next week and then as we do the tail swap and swingarm swap to get a nice 180 and matching wheel outback
in its current state
