I looked at the SV650 recently, but it's gotten pretty big in the latest model (I think it shares parts with the 1000). Plus I had a bad experience with a 600 Bandit. Finally got a Ducati 620 Monster.

No shared parts with SV1000.
The new SV650 is 10mm longer, 5mm narrower, wheelbase is 10mm shorter, ground clearance is 10mm higher, seat height is 5mm lower, weight is the same, fuel capacity is the same, tire size is the same, as my '01 SV650.
The new SV650 come with better suspension: Front: Telescopic, coil spring, oil damped, fully adjustable preload, Rear: Link-type, 7-way adjustable spring preload, the new SV has Fuel Injection, as opposed to twin Mikuni BDSR39 carbs on my bike.
I've installed a Works Performance rear shock and Gold Seal emulators in the front forks, also a G-Pack ignition module, after mkt aluminum handlebars and a Renegade muffler, rear tire skin and bobbed the licence plate holder, shortened the turn signal stalks, etc. ;)
Everyone should have a motorcycle!
