I live in Sunnyvale(south bay), I have been riding for a year now, and I own a 2005 SV650s. It is my first bike, and I am very satisfied with it, and i still ride it today. It is cheap ($5000 when I got it 1 year ago), and cheap to maintain (I low-sided it few months ago, broke my shift lever, only $30 to replace, and $70 for slider, good as new again). And it is a popular bike, easy to sell in the future.
Here is another site that has buy/sell forum: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/
As for the M1 license, if you take MSF(Motorcycle Safety Foundation) class, it will include road test during the class, using their bike, so you don't need to own a bike to take the class and road test, i took it, very useful and easy.
我現在正在跟許多車主洽談車子的事情
不過我很猶豫這幾台車能不能買
最讓我猶豫的是台05年的sv650 2700mile而已
但是讓我猶豫的地方在於他是之前整台失竊的保險理賠車 有salvage title
說是之前被偷走，然後後來保險公司理賠了錢了之後，車又找了回來
不知道這種車能不能買就是了
但是從mile數上來看是有價值就是了 （我想啦）
算起來也才5千多公里而已
其他的就是01年的fz1 1萬mile 跟一台02年的cbr600 f4i 17.8k mile
這兩台都是clean title
如果以實用好騎 好養來說 我相信sv650有那個優勢
但是如果這台不是好選擇的話 那兩台大家會選哪一台呢？
假設車況都是正常，沒有漏油也沒有異音的話。
停車的費用也是我當初考慮的原因之一，一部份是因為現在住的地方的車庫停汽車是要錢的，
但是停機車的話，管理員說你就別檔到路就行了，不收我錢，但是我還是要付遙控器的錢，光這邊就省了好幾百，
沒問詳細的數字，但是免費就讓我覺得省到了。
我不是UC Berkeley的學生，不過也很希望是啦，要是有轉成功的話....
其實我也不是不想買車阿，我當然知道採買很方便，但是....方便之餘花費也是很大的問題，
買了車之後戶頭就只剩下8百多了....希望可以撐一陣子。
Did you get your M1 license already? You should get your license before you start looking for bikes.
Just so you know most of the sellers won't even let you test ride their bikes without a valid M1 license, helmet and full amount of money at their hand.
Also, don't forget to count the sales tax, registration fee and insurance. That will make your budget even tighter.
Good luck.

I bought three used bikes from craigslist, they are all in very good condition and runs perfect. Just be careful and pay attention when you check the bike.
1. carefully check the bottom of the engine to see any leak.
2. check from a distance to make sure the two wheels are in a line.
3. Check around the bike to see any "drop" sign or not.
4. Check engine screws to see how it looks. The screws will have some mark if it been un-screw. ( engine has been opened)
5. If it is private seller, ask the seller don't start the bike at the day. It is good you can start the engine at cold temp to see how it runs.
I do these checks before asking for a test ride. After you start engine, start to carefully listen to the engine sound to ensure it runs smooth. No abnormal noise....
I live in Fremont, not far from Berkeley. Hope we can have chance to ride together. http://www.bayarearidersforum.com is a good place to find riding events after you got your bike.
SV650 is a good bike, I own a 2004 DL650. They use the same engine and I know the V-twin is really smooth. I actually feel more smooth and feel compare with my previous 2002 919. ( Hornet) Sold the DL650 last December, got a 2004 BMW R1150R Rockster. I am glad to see some of Mobile 01 friends also enjoy riding and live in SF Bayarea.
Please keep us update how is your purchase goes.
