It's all what you like or enjoy. If you like the Miata of the bike world keep it. If you want more power than get more power. The thing with my power is you'll get used to it and then you'll want more and more. Just like anything else. I'm biased in owning a Miata but being able to throw my car around and not give a fuck is the best feeling. More so than power.
Power is much lower on the desirability scale over high quality brakes, suspension, and safety (ABS, traction control). The only way to accomplish that with the SV is GSXR front end swap ($800-1k). No safety increases. So why not take that money and buy something that hits the power, brakes, and suspension category? I guess I'm telling myself what to do, but I need to ride more bikes. It's also valuable to hear other riders and their opinions.
