I've had my SV650 for not quite a year and put around 3000 miles on it. I like the bike, but catch myself trying to lay down on the bike so that I don't get blown around so much on the highway. This causes me to get sore after long rides. I love the torque down low, and the rumble of the 90 degree V twin, but I'm not sure if this is enough to keep me from switching over to a cbr.
My roommate has a 2001 cbr f4i and I've ridden that a fair amount. The bike feels about the same weight and isn't much harder to turn/lean with. I really like the fact that it's lower to the ground which makes it more comfortable when I'm at a stoplight and can sit flat footed. The cbr doesn't have the torque that the sv does, but it shines a lot more at higher speeds. One of the biggest things I like about the cbr is that it's 4 cylinder motor is much smoother than the Vtwin.
I'd like advice on what stands out to you guys. The cbr is selling for about $3000 w/ 3700 miles on it. I feel pretty confident I could resell the bike and make a couple bucks if I change my mind later on.
