When my other half was looking at bikes she found the SV to be the better bike compared to the GS500.
I think the curvy is the same seat height (790mm) + its a lighter bike than the GS by about 9kg.
Could always get her one of these

Heh, actually, I wouldn't know, I've never ridden a CB500.
Fair point, though, spec wise they're pretty much the same thing.

I think the seat height is about 15mm lower on the CB. And I'd have to say that I'd rate the build quality higher on a CB500, they're practically bullet proof.
