Well, you would honestly do better with a used bike, at least financially.
1. Your payments would be lower because the total cost will be lower.
2. You won't lose money on depreciation as soon as you roll it out the door.
3. Because of no depreciation on a used bike, it will retain its value better, provided you take care of it and don't dump it.
4. The SV650 is cheaper and you won't grow out of it as fast, meaning you will get more for your money.

Now, since you have 7 years dirt experience, I would say to at least take the used SV650 for a test ride to see if you like how it feels, handles, etc. If you feel that it has too much power for you, then don't get it. Just make sure you're honest with yourself. And remember, street and dirt ARE different. Like these other guys have said, you will grow out of the 500 a lot faster than you will the SV650. And since the 500 would be new, you would lose more money on the deal.

NOW, if you happen to feel the 650 is a little too much for you to honestly handle (remember, you're going to be dealing with traffic and a month is hardly what I would consider "driving experience"), then I would suggest trying to find a USED 500, instead of buying brand new, for all of the reasons listed above. You have plenty of time to buy a new bike. Hell, I'm 31 and the 05 R6 is the VERY FIRST brand new vehicle I've EVER owned. Up until now, the newest vehicle I'd bought was 4 years old, and it was the 99 Katana.

Since your mom is getting the loan in her name entirely, there really is NO reason to buy a brand new bike.
