If I was to say scrap the idea of riding on the street for a while, but I loved to ride, would it the idea of selling the SV for a motard / dirt bike be reasonable?
I am guessing I could get around $3500-4000 for my bike, it is an 03 SV with ~17k on it, full suspension rework, steel lines, good shape, etc.
Could I expect to get on a dirt bike for that kind of money that would come with full dirt and motard trim?
[EDIT: I'd want to hit 4+ track days per year plus a lot of dirt riding if I had a dirt bike/motard]
Plan B would be to keep SV and do track days.
If I really could afford 2 bikes I would probably keep SV as a track bike and buy a scooter to ride on the street, i.e. Aprilia Atlantic 500.
My idea with the dirt bike is that I could learn a lot of stuff that I will never get to do on the street bike. I can go good around the track, but I can't wheelie, jump, don't know what its like to back it in around corners, etc. It seems like if I did the dirt thing for a while then came back to something like the SV I could really ride the wheels off of a street bike.
I can't picture selling my SV though,I like it too much and I think that it's a good bike for my skill level.
What about an EX500 track bike?
Sorry this isn't the most cohesive post but it's time to leave work
