I cannot vouch for the clip ons , but the comfort kit was excellent and made the bike so much more enjoyable

They two different things I would assume.
Having read a lot of threads here, if you want comfort you need a bar kit from what I could tell.
Others will have a better opinion than me, like I said if you were closer you could try mine.

I didn't want to loose the sporty feel of the bike so clipons were ideal for me.
Someone makes a good point though, if your looking to replace the whole bar is the SV the bike for you?

well indeed but considering i've only had the bike 3 months, it would be madness to sell it now esp after i have managed to drop it and crash it LOL might as well hold on at least until I pay it off

Sling a bar kit on it and you will never look back , makes the bike totally bearable

If you can put up with a wait then the CNC Comfort kit I linked to has a fixed price and all the parts you need to fit it.

I just wonder if the full bar is superior to clip ons... will the clip ons be as comfortable. what does the full bar offer that the clip ons don't

And I suppose it is a good bike for me. Good value for money, best for insurance for a new rider like me and quite light as far a big bikes go. I can't think of another bike offering the same
Just gotta get comfy now

A higher position, not so much weight on your wrists, usually a bit wider, so a bit more leverage

I would say a full bar is more comfy IMO.
