The stock fork and shock on the SV will leave you crying. The YZF600R is a couch. Just sayin'

Its suspension is still better than any of the 500's, 250's, or dual-sports mentioned.

Agreed. Brakes are better than those as well, but it would take a premium shock and some cartridge emulators to bring it up to the YZF600R suspension. Thats a good 1600 dollars extra work.

My vote is for the yzf. Obviously Im a little bias just like some others on here but it seems like it would meet your needs pretty well. Its a pretty well rounded bike and easily enough power to pass with no issues.
