Default Fireblades - 919 or 929?

Good afternoon all,

Anyone got experience of both the Fireblade in 919(injection model) and 929 guises?
I'm interested to know if the 919 is something of a chunky old steed or has it any of that willing nimbleness that the SV650 has in abundance?
Also would like to know whether people consider the 929 to be a better all rounder than the 919. Would I be right to think the 929 is a more forgiving handler as it's a later design or is that just plain wrong?

Mainly thinking about changing the SV for something else for the simple reason of wishing to experience another flavour of biking, the SV is still a far better machine than I am rider, but variety is there to be tasted and all that malarkey. I'm riding very infrequently recently so maybe a sportsbike makes sense for occasional jaunts, but not looking for anything of a savage nature, only imagine the women in my life will deliver such treacherous behaviour! (just kidding)

Many thanks for all feedback.

Dub.
