SV is fair play and all jokes aside (my dad loves it when I tell him it's for ladies :lol ) its a great bike that you won't be disappointed with. But please, I urge you never to get a blandit. My mate has had 2, first one was actually not too bad the slightly newer revised version that came out in the early 2000s and has a little bikini fairing. Nothing on my fazer though for torque, handling, or horsepower. Comfort was good. He sold it for an old and awful gsxr 750 that was a dog, regretted it straight away and swapped it for an older mk1 bandit that is just a huge piece of crap. It's very heavy for a 600, slow (SV will keep up and it's a good 25hp down on the fazer) and handles like crap. Oh, and he just had to replace the whole engine because of a transmission issue. I have been lucky enough not to own a stinker, even my restricted gs500 and chinese supermoto were great in my eyes but going from a fazer to a bandit would just be sacrilege. SV I recommend though, maybe test ride one first though to see?
