Re: SV650 or CBR F4i?

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.
