Have you thought of/tried a smaller capacity Duc' Monster? the 620's are all LAMS approved I'm pretty sure (as are the 400's but don't do that to yourself). Or if you're close to getting off the LAMS restrictions, you could wait and have a look for an 821 Monster? Or maybe a Street Triple?
Tried the full power SV today.
I'm in looooooooove grinning ear to ear even tootling along in second to get from the service lane to the main road. DAMMIT.
Then a Kawasaki 300 RN ?? Or something. It was OK. Second hand, might be a stop gap measure at best. I liked it better than the Duke.
They are going to get the 400 R and Z650 in next week so I can test ride those (nothing there today). They have a couple of old models going cheaper. Similar price to a new SV so they'd have to feel bloody good. Size wise the 3 650-something Kawasakis I sat on were ok.
Also sat on a Street Triple, the R version, which was lowered. First bike I've been able to put my feet flat on the ground haha. But bit out of budget and definitely not lams so I won't even test it.

The SV I had my eye on as a fall-back option sold last Friday.
However, this statement on another thread was not fulfilled...
So it was not sold after all on Monday
Today, it has been sold for real. I pick it up tomorrow.
May still upgrade the ECU in a few months time. Or get a different bike. But I couldn't go past the price, or the kms, or the condition of it. Might be looking at a city shift in the next month so decided life was too short to f*ck around deciding which bike I wanted to get.
Great, like old comfy shoes?
