Congrats on the SV, I love mine. Sometimes I wish I'd have gotten the 1000 but my K4 with GSXR600 suspension does just fine for my DD use and occasional track days. Upgrade the suspension first, well after an exhaust. The bikes are too quiet stock and they are way too soft stock. There's a lot you can do with it, check out SVriders.com for some good tips on what works and what doesn't. Believe me, it makes an excellent track bike and mountain burner as well as DD duties.
