Some have stability issues, but then again so do some GSXRs, hell fire my GPZ500S could throw an evil slapper if you really really prodded it!
The owners don't help the reputation due to the machismo of owning "teh widow maker"
They had more power than the suspension could deal with at the time, sort that out and you've got a litre twin that handles as well as any other litre twin and better than most. Whether that's any better than an SV1000 with the same money spent on it is pretty much academic as it will come down to how good you are at twiddling adjusters.
