Kyle's bike is probably the one Drewpy is looking at. It's light years beyond the gixxer suspension setup. Traxxion front and penske rear shock is about as good as you can get suspension wise, besides maybe a ohlins rear keeping the same traxxion front. The bike doesn't need better brakes, it's a SV, they work good enough because with that bike you really don't need them.

If you lived closer to the gap where the drop in power wouldn't be an issue I would say go for it, but you don't. You live in sweeper land, if you want to keep riding fast you probably are going to crave something more powerful. If you want a fun commuter bike, that will also carve the shit out of some tight twisties, the Kyle's SV is #1.
