Re: next big bike "what do you think"
I think you need to work out what you want from a bike, that list is way to diverse to make any kind of sensible recommendation from.
I also reckon you have a lot of fun left in your SV. So ride that a bit more and try and get some test rides on the bikes on your list. And then go and get the GSXR-750... mind you I would say that...

Re: next big bike "what do you think"
I'd say keep the SV for longer... But if I was going to buy a new sports bike, it'd be a CBR600RR. I'd rather have a CBR600F, or an old-model Fazer thou, though.

Re: next big bike "what do you think"
+1 for the above and book a track day. You may find it reignites a few more sparks.

Re: next big bike "what do you think"
I'm not convinced either way, since you never see any with real mileages on them I reckon they're parked up, taken out and belted round then put away again. Not a true indication of reliability...
