It's what they said after about you, that's what you need to worry about

Still have the SV. Have had an assortment of bikes at the same time. But the SV is the most fun little bike I have ever owned and have no intention of parting with it. When it finally gives up, I will probably go get a Gladius. The Gladius can be made to look quite good. Unlike the pointy SV.

I would have still had my SV if I hadn't done some extreme stunting action. Only have the Ducati now but once everything settles down I want to get an SV for commuting/bad weather days Im such a tart.

My thinking exactly mr speirs! I've still got my SV but a sports bike and a power ranger suit Im hoping for by next summer. keep the SV for poor conditions.

SV for commuting, last 2 bikes for this job have been Bandits.

Cheap to buy, insure and (so far) run, the SV is probably a bit less comfortable in Central London, but more fun on the country roads home than the Bandits.
When this one is too knacked to do the London run (probably another 3 or 4 years) then I'd definitely have another SV - hopefully the thou!

SV was my 3rd bike... currently on my 5th (see sig)

I do occasionally miss the sv, it did the job at the time and was the first bike that got me into the social side of biking via these forums

but I think i'll be Triumph for life now
