Get the IL4 sports bike and be done with it..... You'll never get the SV to handle as well as a GSXR without spending loads of money. My advice, go take a test on a GSXR750, a ZX636 and a CBR600 (RR and F)
The SV is a cracking bike, for the money......... To get it up to the handling of a sports machine you'll spend money that you'll never recover, and it will still be down on power to the supersports bikes. Money which you could put towards a K5 GSXR 750, 130+ BHP, sublime handling, and it's actually quite comfortable. I commuted on m 600 for 18 months, it went to France 3 or 4 times and did a couple of track days too.
The only reason I let it go was because I have a back complaint and if it was playing up, my back would ache after a good days riding, and seeing as I do quite a few 400 mile plus, 8-10 hour days on the bike, I decided to change for something not quite as focused.
