CBR600FS or SV1000

i might try the rr on saturday to im really stuck between minds still because i like vtwins and il4s, as for the rsv im going to wait till i get a few more noclaims and a few more years experience to bring down the four figure insurance quote i got for the rsv

I am paying four figures which is £700 more than it was on the 600 but guess how much I lost on the 600 by getting bored after a year? I will tell you - double the difference in insurance premium! Then add that much again from getting bored of the SV and buying the SS600 and you get the picture!

The CBR in traffic is just emphasising the worse points of the bike. If you are doing a lot of 2up work then I'd say the SS600 ain't the best idea.
