Yeah, the SV got a reputation as a bit of a girl's bike, but only cos they're light and easy to use. If you read any serious write-ups, you'll also find they say it's good for beginners and experienced alike. They really aren't bad, and as you yourself said, beggars can't be choosers, so they're worth considering. Keep a can of WD40 handy if you ride one in heavy rain tho! Mine was a stop-gap until I could afford something with a bit more go, but it did the job.
Noggy's right - that TDM would be more your size - get a quote on one, make sure you check the earlier 850, not the 900.
