i beg to differ.  the sv650 is a very tall bike, every bit as tall as
my RS.  it's too bad, because the rest of the features are good, other
than having maybe a bit more power than a first-time rider should have
at their disposal.

the other problem is that it's new.

i'd look at a suzuki bandit 400, which is foregiving, but which they
won't outgrow very fast.  a honda hawk might work.  a GS500 is a good
choice too.
