Started to think about changing the sv next year but dont know what i want. Choices- SV1000s
CBR600RR
GSXR600
R6
or spend it on tuning the sv650.
Anybody who has ridden these bikes i would appreciate your opinions

With the choices there I'd probably go with SV..... Not as common as the others and just as much fun but with more torque.

While I love the SV, i plan on rolling onto the CBR600RR once i've a few years of SV underneath me.

That said, the SV does look the dogs with a few tweaks.

It is true, the RR is a hell of a bike, I have no idea how it rides but looking like that it must move pretty well.

The SV is a great bike, loads of torque all the time. It may be worth test riding a few and going from there. You may find the R6 too uncomfortable after being on your comfy SV

Depends why you want to change it. If it's more power etc and you really do love a V-twin (and it doesn't have to be new) then there's always the mighty TL.

It is the fact i would like more power. I like my SV alot and the torque it has but it just needs the little bit extra! Doesnt have to be a brand new bike.

tune the sv, if it needs just a "little extra" then tune it, as buying a new bike will cost you a lot more...but... and there is a but... a little is never enough(personally speaking) and you will always want more, if you are the same then go for the honda

Well with the tweaks they are doing the SV1000 it is turning more and more like a TL. Now all I need is a black Thou, with a shark skin fairing and twin blue flame two port tri-oval exhausts...

If you want to stick with v-twins then the SV1000S won't disapoint you.
