I've owned mine from new, exactly the same as yours in the fab candy blue. 18 years of happy and largely trouble free ownership.
I've done 40k miles on mine, and agree with you about them being brilliant bikes. Track days, touring, commuting, Sunday fun, it does it all pretty well.
I have other bikes, most of them far "better" than the little SV, but I know which one of them will never get sold!
