Re: Touring bike??
Although many have toured on it I dont think that the sv is the best tourer, I have only done 3 big trips and my Z750 is far more comforatble over distance than the sv, pillion accomodation is pretty rubbish on both.
The big questions are
does your gf like the pillion seat on the sv
how far are you planning to go
would you sell the sv if it wasnt for this trip
A cheap alternative IMO would be an old style fazer with topbox + scottoiller. They are very comfy bike and have a good pillion seat, not a sporty as the sv so it depends how you ride. They are also pretty cheap now and normally can be got with plenty of useful extras
