Hi Guys, Maybe you can give me some advice on what to actually get.

Currently looking at getting 1 of 3 different SVs, All from the same dealership, the 3 bikes are as follows

1) Naked K8 in grey with 5.3k miles for £3.000

2) Part Faired K8 in dark blue with with 5k miles for £3,400

3) Full Faired L1 in Black for £3,900 with 4.8k miles

Now, I am leaning more towards the black L1 but am just curious as to what others think would be the best options and if anyone owns one? Are reasonably priced for what you get? What kind of mileage they get per tank (my old curvy did around 120 miles before light came on) My commute is 72ish mile per day so 140 mile per tank is pretty much essential and is around 50/50 motorway/city riding, Do you think all 3 would do this easily?

Obviously all this has probably been answered multiple times and I have checked the MPG thread and It seems that the bike can vary drastically in the mileage but havent seen a 2012 one mentioned there yet.

Thanks and apologies in advance.
