You then have your fuel so if you do a tank a week on your commute let's call is £20 a week, every week.

In cycling distance no way do you need an SV. Sledgehammer to crack a walnut!
Get a 125:
Bike £400
Insurance £100
2 self services (not that they cost £100 on an SV anyway! More like £30) £15
1 set of tyres (which will probably do 2 years) £50
Tax £15
and 110mpg, £9 a week...
£650 a year, probably end up spending close to that on push iron bits.
