once again, this depends on what you wanna do. I'm totally happy with my SVS. 140mph is fine with me and I guarantee i'll lose you in the twisties. Suzuki SV's are straight up handling bikes. If you want to do track days or just ride some good twisties, then an SV is PERFECT. Plus the v-twin motor has gobs of low-end power which makes it a fun commuter bike that will help keep you from gettin into too much high speed trouble. I originally thought I had outgrown the bike until I found the fun of draggin a knee. So if you wanna stunt, drag race, or just ride FAST, then yea take an inline, but the SV by far is the best all around bike.
