Bheezy...I've ridden SV's quite a bit, as I have a nephew that has had 3 of them, a Gen 1, a Gladius and an DL 650 Adventure. Nice little bikes. Revvers though, you have to be "involved" in riding one, like any bike under 750 cc imo. Your power is going to be above 4000 rpms. Great handling little bikes although serious SV enthusiasts swap out the front end, incl brakes and rear shock for GSXR stuff (although if you are not a track junkie I see little need). Known to be bullet proof. The 19's got a little more power than previous Gens. You should test ride one if you can arrange it.
