The stock fork and shock on the SV will leave you crying. The YZF600R is a couch. Just sayin'

Its suspension is still better than any of the 500's, 250's, or dual-sports mentioned.

Agreed. Brakes are better than those as well, but it would take a premium shock and some cartridge emulators to bring it up to the YZF600R suspension. Thats a good 1600 dollars extra work.

My vote is for the yzf. Obviously Im a little bias just like some others on here but it seems like it would meet your needs pretty well. Its a pretty well rounded bike and easily enough power to pass with no issues.

Don't really want a scooter because they are too cramped.

I would like to inform you that i had a Hyosung 250R. I had minor problems with it but nothing that made it be considered unreliable. The bike ran 15k in 3 years and i rode it like a 600cc. thats why i had some minor problems with it lol. I rode the shit out of it. Also i wrecked it twice and dropped it once and That bike can handle a wreck really well. The plastics are more durable than any other bike.

But my vote goes to the YZF600R. But im also Biased since i have the R6 lol.

Sounds like a great stunt bike. lol

I thought about the 250R because I *thought* it had fuel injection for 2010, but it doesn't.....The thing new is 3799 with a 2 year warranty...hmmmm. What gas mileage did you guy? How was the bike overall? Issues? What were your "minor issues"?
