The Ninja 650 seems to be the up and comer, not better than the sv at anything, but it is a slightly newer design. It seems to be an overall well rounded bike and would serve you well.

Another bike you might want to include is the often looked over FZ6r from yamaha. Its sort of forgotten amongst its class, but really can easily hold its own weather its railing through corners or cruising on the highway.
I liked the fz6r when I sat on it. It kind of bugged me though that they cheapened the build materials from the original fz6, which is a bike I liked alot... and would consider buying. Yet the price didn't change much.
