Default Re: 70bhp more than enough?

I really struggle to enjoy the SV650 on motorways, but from everything I've read from other users, I ride my SV rather differently from others.

Most gears I'll only ever sit between 3k and 4k, when I hit 4k I shift up unless I'm in fifth or sixth, or if I'm acting like a hooligan. I like the soft throttle response before it hits that 4.5k power, and on motorways it just feels exhausted the entire time ( this is without the restriction mind you ).

The SV makes an excellent bike for somebody with a restricted license, I'm thinking of a Triple or something more adv touring styled like a Tiger or GS for when I can spoil myself.
