I've had a 650 and a 1000, both nakeds. The thou is MUCH faster and has better brakes and suspension. Some people will complain they don't handle. Either they've never ridden one and are just repeating web opinions or aren't doing it right. Anyone who follows me in the tight twisty stuff will confirm they handle fine, you just need to give it a bit more input.

Get through a bit of fuel, I generally get 112 miles from full to light on regardless of how hard I ride it.

If you want proper quick agility, get a modern sports bike. If you want lazy power the SV1000 is OK but there are better bikes out there. If you just want a really cheap way to bring a grin to your face, get yourself an SV1000 and make your own mind up. Everyone I've ever lent it to gets off with an ear to ear grin saying things like "nobody really needs that, but can I have another go"
