If you like a twin, then get an Aprilia Falco! Had mine 6 weeks now after 4 years on an SV. It's a natural progression, rode a CBR600RR (gave me a sore bum after only 15 miles)

, rode a VFR800 (comfy, fast but so boring)

, tried the SV1000 (lots of power but...........)

and then tried a Falco, loads of character, loads of power and loads of fun trying to keep the front wheel on the deck.

As for the value of your bike, prepare to be disappointed. The value of SV's have plummeted, my SK3 similar spec but fully faired was valued at only £2400

part-ex against a year old CBR600RR. I eventually sold private at £3100.
