I'm trying to limit how much i spend on it, as i've recently passed my A licence up from an A2, so i'll probably look to change it next season.(I'm putting new tyres and possible chain on it already, so i thought while the wheels are off i could look at the folks)

Id say spend the money on the suspension then keep the bike. It will see you right for many years. Bigger better newer bikes are not really that much more fun than a well sorted sv. You will save a lot of money for petrol and going places.
