Default SV650 or SV650S? Which would you choose...?

I've got a zx6r, but am after a second bike. Ridden the naked one before, but not the faired. I've a faired one for £1999, year: 1999, and a naked one for £1990, year: 2002. Both with similar mileage. Which one do people recommend. I've deen on big bikes for 4 years, and my commute is a mixture of traffic clad city roads and dual carriageway.

I would definately go for the SV650S. Better handling. It's worth the few extra bucks.

I think the naked one is a better looking bike. If you get the S, make sure you get a belly pan. Makes the bike look complete.Either way, you get a nice easy riding position and that sweet v-twin power delivery.

For commuting, the naked one will be more comfortable. If you can find it, look for a 2003+ model to get fuel injection (the one major change in the SV line). The FI gets you great mileage without choking the engine on cold mornings, and works great.
