Ok, i've decided i'm getting a new bike next year. Still gonna keep my GS500F as my whore bike that everyone can learn on though. I'm torn between two bikes

R6 - nice and compact, very flickable, but i heard its very sensitive - never got to test drive one so i don't know.

SV650S - I just love the look of a naked bike. Most likely i'll end up putting a full fairing on it. But i've test drove this bike and it responds very well. Tons of aftermarket stuff for it too just like the R6.

What do you guys think? anyone with an SV in here? How do these two compare on the track, eventually i'll wanna go on the track and get my skills a little better.

Well, as soon as im done fixin the R6 up im selling it, so if you want it, for 4 g's its yours. Only thing that may bother you is cosmetics, but i assure you it will be in top running condition when its sold. Im just lookin to pay off my loan

Oh and not to be bias, but the R6 is the way i would go, its a bike you wont grow tired of at all. And i think it handles better than the other 600's out there, but ive only ridden one other 600 (zx-6r).

I love mine, i wouldn't go as far and say its "sensitive" a whole lot more than other bikes out there.

I rode a gsxr and a R6, once i did that i knew what i was getting. The gsxr just isnt for me.

I honesty think that your comparing apples and oranges. The SV650S is more of a handling bike. Not very fast. The R6 I believe would be ALOT faster. That's just from what I've read.
