I went from a curvy 650 naked to a 2006 Z750S - with K&N filter, Remus end can and a PCIII (mapped properly) it made about the same at the back tyre as a stock Z1000 (111hp). Compared to the SV it will feel a lot quicker - the rush of acceleration over 7000rpm is great fun and certainly a good step up from an SV. Its still a cheap bike though (Z750), has the same front brakes as the SV, el-cheapo suspension and vibrates quite a lot - I loved mine though and put 13k on it in 3 years (purely summer pleasure miles)

Try it - you might like it

Peg went from sv to Z1000 after him and the Sv was squashed into a million bends.
I believe he put 38k on it in two years, and went everywhere on it.

Loved it.
