Personally prefer the FI and the non tube frame. The bug eye headlights on the earlier models aslo bug me...

each to their own, they run awesome, and with a few suspension mods kick ass on the track.

One of the perks to the SVs is that you can upgrade the suspension with GSXR parts very easy.

If you like the V and riding position, more power to ya. I demoed an '08 and couldn't stand it. Only place I would ride it is the track. I'm the P-twin type

If you're going to spend the extra $3k for the Shiver, MotorCyclist says you're farther ahead with the new Monster 696.

I had an 05 SVs and loved it. Has a ton of mods and accessories to make it a much better bike. I say go with a 04+. 03's have some subtle differences that you can't use some parts from 04+.
