I doubt BMWs will put a grin on your face after you are used to an SV; they are sensible bikes. My Dad had an R100R for 10 years, with few problems. He thought it was fine, but nothing exciting I thought when I tried it, seemed almost slow!

Now here is the good part, he sold the bike eventually, and got a new Moto Guzzi Breva 1100. Its a big twin, shaft drive, but has style and plenty of grunt. He has a big grin now. I think the only bad thing is the price, so it depends if you are rich or not. Not sure about quality, as he only just bought it.

Or you could get a SV1000 which I think wold be a cool alternative for when I upgrade.
