The SMR looks more fun than the falco anyway.

Whats the point in looking more fun

I have too much fun on the falco hence the 9500 miles in 6 months... Guess if these little bikes are so good man id hate to know the cost of running for me.

Nah no falco-bashing meant there greek. Been looking at the likes of TLS and speed triple, but something like that which would be more fun than terrifying to slide around has lots of appeal. Problem is it'd be useless for trips further afield!

What's it like on NSL roads?

You do? You should hear it now...

TBH if you want a bike like the SV but with more go you want to look at TLs, SV1000 (though that aint that similar) Falco, Firestorm Sprint ST or maybe VFR. Unless you want naked...

Dunno what I want really. I don't like faired bikes with clipons, if I got the TL it'd end up with proper bars on it.
