my mate has a k1 gsxr6 and its a very nice bike. i rode it once and found it very lacking in shove til around 7krpm but then it took off. its also a lot more comfortable than i expected. personally i like the low down grunt and instant power af a twin, rather than having to drop down a gear and revving the nuts off it to get anywhere! the suspension put the sv's to shame though, as did the brakes.
an sv will keep up with the gixxer to 100mph though, so you could spend the cash saved on improving the sv and have a real good bike! dan |

I have ridden a gixxer, and currently own an 02' SV. The gixxer is not anywhere near as comfy as the SV. Harder on the wrists. (as well as the wallet!!) It would be more sensible to buy the Sv and spend the xtra cash on upgrades. my 2 cents.

Bike magazine did an article on that subject some time ago with an R1 versus a super motard. Somewhat unsuprisingly, the R1 crapped all over the Super Motard in all riding conditions.
