SV650 or CBR F4i?

R6 is a nice bike if you're short like me, can touch both feet at a stoplight w/o a problem. Real revvy but still a fun bike.

Gotta get in my standard advice though:
Sell your SV and take that cash, put it towards an evo :) Safer than a bike and can be just as fast or faster!

Get a supermoto if you do a decent amount of city riding. I love my supermoto way more than my r6 for dicking around town and going to work. It's super slow but it just means you can be a hooligan at a slower speed.

What kind of riding are you going to do with it?

what about just getting a windscreen kinda like http://www.revzilla.com/product_images/0024/9467/Cupolini-universali-240AA240A_detail.jpg

When you say suspension, are you just talking a new spring or shocks as well?

The big thing is the oil inside them gets bad. Fork oil isn't a biggie, but the shocks are sealed and need to be sent off to get rebuilt. You can get them rebuilt with much better parts for not tons more money too. Racetech is a good place to find out some info on it.

But evos don't get crazy good gas mileage and are nowhere near the price I'd sell my sv for haha.

Well, the average speed on the highway around here is like 85 mph, so I think that alone rules out a supermoto. I also like the idea of throwing a lady friend on the back and going for a ride. Yet another thing a supermoto struggles with.

I'm looking to just invest in a new set of bars to lower me down a bit. If that doesn't help much, I'll throw on a windscreen. I just personally think they are kinda ugly.

They have ones similar to that which are painted the same color as your bike, looks 100x better!

I love my SV1k! I have mine naked and wouldn't go back to the half fairing it had. I find the wind kinda helps to keep some of the weight off my wrists and stress off my back at speed. I rode my buddy's SV650 before I got my bike and I loved the way it felt and rode, but it just didn't have enough guts for me. My 1k feels pretty much the same, but it's obviously heavier and requires more effort to flick through the turns.The torque this thing has even with stock gearing is enough for me to never look at an inline engine under 750cc, unless it's a Truimph Street Triple (675cc I3).

Like Jet said, definitely look into rebuilding the suspension on a bike with more than 8-10k miles. Mine is at 10k and it needs at least the fork oil changed.

Well I almost bought a new SV, but the deal kinda fell through. Sooooooo I bought an 03 CBR600RR :)
