anyway, not sure which feels more comfortable, but you're right. i want the bike for general riding and cruising, commuting, some canyon carving and hopefully trackdays. i'm more interested in handling than power, because either bike will feel like a rocketship compared to my teg. that 599 is so damn sexy, but it seems like the sv is a better bike at a better price.
Heh, the guy in my avatar is Garry McCoy. He was known for drifting when he raced.
Anyway, about the bikes; like I said, both are great bikes. The 599 was based off the old F3 which was carburetor based. The SV(beginning in 03) is fuel injected. Maybe that might be something to consider? I also forgot to add that even though the 599 is an inline 4, it was tuned to have more torque. But, I think with the SV, you'd get the torque earlier in the powerband; it's still a vtwin.
