I'll keep looking for other options, but my budget is pretty much at 2k. That leaves me with plenty left over for a full set of good quality gear.
I also have to see if my wife feels OK on an SV650 too. I didn't really mention it, but she will also be riding it a bit. She's quite short, and the Nighthawk was very comfortable for her.
Whether I find something else or choose the Nighthawk, I really do appreciate all the points of view and inputs from all the experienced gearheads and motorcyclists on this forum. I knew I would get some good honest input from you folks.
