How much is it going to cost to buy and run a crappy old bike, compared to the extra loss of value of extra miles on your SV? Bearing in mind these aren't the most expensive bikes in the world. I would say just ride the SV and don't sweat it, but it sounds like you need to sort out the front plug problem that some people also have.
I comute 50 miles a day, use my bike when it's not raining. At least I'm awake when I get to work!
