depends what use you have for it really, if your riding canyon twisties then either bike would be good. if your covering huge distances at 55mph then the seat on the v strom would suit you better. if your gonna be mainly on good surface twisties and cover moderate distances 200 miles ish then the SV or Svs would suit.
and then there is the pose value the vstrom is ugly compared to the SV or SVS but probably a more practical riding position for the states. and if you do any fire track riding or off tarmac (not off road if you get my drift) then the v strom would be better.
