Thanks guys.
@Carelesschucca, when you say steering lock I take it you mean inability to turn as tightly? I do find I'd like my SV to be able to turn slightly more tightly than it can. And on bike storage as in under seat? There's not masses on the SV although the bit under the rear seat is useful for a few small bits I tend to use my Kriega 10 and or 20 bag fixed over it if I'm carrying anything bigger than sandwiches and a small U-Lock. I'm guessing the Kriega setup would work fine on a Striple.

@Scotty217. I do love the sound of my SV and my only experience of the Striple is hearing someone who lives down the road come home occaisionaly and it sounds very quiet and whirry, although by the looks of it it transforms into a great sound once moving?

Do either of you have a screen on yours? How would that compare to the faired SV? I do find the SV protection from the fairing to be just about right for me although also appreciated the feel of being open to the wind on my previous naked bike to experience the ride speed more. Being battered by wind was definitely tiring on longer journeys though.
