    I am quite tall, and I currently drive a Yamaha Tracer 900 from 2018. It’s not a naked, the naked version would be the MT09 which is pretty high value as well.

    Be sure to test one from 2018 or later though, the earlier versions did not have the injection figured out properly, and the throttle was choppy because of that. Very on/off. Later versions are much better. The Tracer 900 and the MT09 use the same engine, so that is nice.

    The SV650 really is a nice bike and it handles well. It’s one of those bikes I can recommend anyone. Even experienced riders can have a lot of fun with it. Because it is light and agile it corners really well.
