Well done CBR.
Make sure you stick to your convictions.
GSX-R600 of course!
SV650 S, a much more sensible choice.
Do you even know how to ride?

Good choice. I bought one as a sort of 'step up' bike, but i'm in no hurry to upgrade. They can certainly move when you want them to.Well, I just spent the last three hours riding the SV650 S and GSX R600 back to back (again). I took them both for a tour through town, the twisties, open road and housing areas. No doubt the GSXR is a fantastic piece of machinery, but its basically a track bike with indicators. Comfort is low and its just not intended to be used around town, its just begs to be left alone to stretch its legs on the open road. The throttle is twitchy for town and the gearing is all wrong for stopping at lights every hundred meters. Sure anyone can ride it in town...but do you want to do that day in day out?
The SV by comparison handles very well around town, is quite comfortable and actually does remarkably well in the twisties. Shifting weight across the bike saw it corner well and the torque is immediate and useful though the slightly soggy front suspension is still there. A new set of springs or race tech cartridge emulators should bring that right. In conclusion I'm going the SV path for now, perhaps an full on race replica sometime in the future. Thanks for everyones help. Squids feel free to flame me

A good choice. I have just finished 3 happy years with my SV 650, even though previous bikes I had were bigger (Fire Blade etc) it was still a handy machine in most kinds of riding. I track day'd on it as well as commuted and weekend played on it. I am about to get GSXR600 but for different reasons. Have fun.
