Default Bike usage

Following on from the what miles did you do in your first year, I've been pondering various polls recently (I'm sad like that) and thought this might be an interesting one...
What bike do you have and what do you use it for?

For those with multiple bikes go with the main one.

Edit: Clarification, SV covers any size SV and gladius.
The others are there to see if people move on to bigger bikes and still commute or if they are toys, that's my hypothesis anyhoo .

Had an SV, now likely to get a Fazer, use it mostly for commuting, the occasional rideout, the occasional trip further with SWMBO on the back.

Own an SV and use it mainly for commuting to work and rideouts at the weekends. It will also be my main means of getting to and from Uni in 3/4 weeks time.

Could we not make this a multiple selection poll for the flash harry(s) with more than one bike?

It appears I can't now but if some mod with some time on their hands wants to, take it away.

Might see how many use an SV as a winter hack, seems too good for that in my eyes, mine just gets used year round through necessity.

F800GS, used 80% work, 20% pleasure (pleasure mostly 2-up). SV was 95%+ work during the last year. SV will now be pleasure only: Currently SORN, slowly being converted to cafe racer trackday/weekend toy.

Not enough options!

I need one that reads all of the below!
SV - track use only, spose this comes under pleasure only.
>600 commuting and pleasure
<600 pleasure (and very very occasionally commuting)
