Re: New Bike, what to get?!
I got rid of my gsxr 750 and kept my little SV . It suits my riding style more and doesn't want to be away at every throttle twist . The gsxr made me realise that riding my bike was better than thrashing a rocket .

Re: New Bike, what to get?!
I love my GSXR600 k8, it's supprising how comfy it is. At motorway speeds you can rest your arms on your legs taking the weight off your wrists. I find it more comfy for my style of riding, I found changing gear harder on the SV aswell, i think it was the postion of the pegs, on the gixer you barley have to move your foot to slot it home. Loving it

Re: New Bike, what to get?!
Assuming that you enjoy riding the SV for 'fun' then I'd suggest buying something as different as possible - or you run the risk (as Fizz found) of having a bike that you really don't have any inclination to ride as your new one does it all better.
The sort of thing I'd be looking at would be :- Supermoto - GREAT for sh*ts & giggles - could also be used for your commute - 400cc+ Trail / Enduro bike - as above but can also be used for a bit of off-roading - 250cc+ Tourer - if you fancy the idea of doing some miles (in comfort) as well as having a laugh. I have 1200 GS but any of the 'grown-ups' bikes would do the trick - 750cc+
