IMHO yes you would, it is definitely an open roads bike. Get it up in the VTEC range and keep it there, awesome. The induction roar is addictive.
Badly tuned / set up. Snatchy low revs throttle is well known and needs the starter valves correctly synchronised. Mine is always much better after a service. Same with the VTEC, the second set of valves opening up seems to need synching to the fueling map very closely.
Only with the VTEC in action  I got 170 miles from a tank yesterday. I regularly got over 220KM to a tank in France.
Horses for courses, I like the ability to tour and the bike has more than enough scratching potential for me. Have not decked anything out yet, even though almost to the edge of the tyres.

I have to point out once again that I think it IS a cracking bike, just not the one for me.
I HAVE had it further cranked over in corners than the SV and so the potential is there.
However my main focus has to be getting to work in the morning which is 4 miles of stop-start filtering.
New bike should be here in the week, so getting rid of the Viffer
And I see why you called yours "Whispering Death" its embarrasing that when stopped at lights, the rad fans are louder than the engine idling
