Default Got a friend looking at an SV650S. Tell me more.

I know enough to know that they are popular bikes, plenty of aftermarket, lots of great things said about them etc etc.

My friend is looking at picking one up as his first bike. He looked at some gixxers in my year range but he didn't want to spend that much money. We spent several hours today at a huge used bike warehouse and he felt that the SV650 and the Gixers fit him well for a rather short person. I assume they are almost the same beyond motor differences? He found a nicely priced 05 or 06 with low miles for around 4500. He is thinking about looking at it on Monday and bringing it home if possible. Is there any thing specific on these models that we need to know about beyond the normal things to check when buying used?

I also sat on my 06 50th anniversary R6 I wanted and it felt so awkward. I will need a test ride and some time before my Gix becomes a track whore and I get another street bike.
