I'm getting some test rides in soon, it's the only way really to know. I might even plump for a new SV and go the GSXR front end/700cc kit route, let's face it the price difference would pay for it. Am I worrying too much about the Italian bikes?

GSXR 750
Great bikes, I prefer the older ones but YMMV
RSV can have niggly issues but are pretty good bikes.
848 will cost a fortune to service but might not fall to bits.
I would go for other tuning rather than 700cc, and if I was looking pointy, I'd look for a mint pre-twin plug one (K6 IIRC)
