What are you looking for exactly?
We need to know if it's comfort. Economy, yada, yada....

Test ride both, buy the one you like best.

There are many differences between the two even though they look similar.

I don't think anyone buys an SV for comfort! It's usually the complete opposite as you can see from all the threats about adding 'comfort kits' or Gel seats!

The last vfr I rode was a brand new E plate.
But try and find a bad review about the current crop. There's quite a few owners on hear have or had one. New thread?
My next "Sensible" bike will be a road biased adventure bike.
