Yup. I would like to find a nice non "S" SV1000. I know the motor is somewhat tamer than the TL, but I am addicted to that grunty torque. There are lots of SV1000s and some SV650 standards, but the SV1000 standards seem hard to come by. I know they weren't that popular, but they are just what I am looking for. Affordable too.
