Heart and brain go in different directions.

Heart would say scrap the GSXR 600 and make a 100+BHP sports tourer V twin with proper suspension and brakes.

Brain says the SV is aimed at a market sector that is price driven. and the market requires a 70BHP lower cost bike that can have multiple guises.

I would like to see Suzuki decide it is daft to have multiple suspension systems and replace the SV suspension/braking with GSXR technology. I would guess there is not too much cost to the factory in this and economies of scale should reduce costs further.
