I'm looking at these too, held back by the extra weight of a 1000 twin. Will an older 600 or SV650 still be a better choice if you're a corner speed junkie? I'm just out to have fun but the extra torque is very appealing because I get tired or wringing out a 600. Compromised suck.
I want one or both of these! However with the CDN dollar at $0.68 I just can't afford to do it. Makes me feel ill.
