Have to agree dizz, your bike does have a special look to it.
Kinda like its been set on fire and put out with a cricket bat.

Went from owning an SV650 S K9 for 18 months to a GSX-R 1000 K8 which i've had for 2 years now

I actually find the GSX-R more comfortable then the SV, especially after long periods in the saddle.

Alternative is to do half a dozen 200 milers, then up to 300 then 400.
Repeat until happy at 600 - not necessarily the bike's fault.

Best thing is to make a short list of bikes you like ,ones that will do the jobs you need , look into how mutch its going to cost to run them.Then when you get it to sensible numbers test ride them.
