Yeah I miss the little bikes for that - nothing like keeping a 250 stroker on the boil for a few laps of your local urban GP circuit....I'd buy one again in a heartbeat as they'd be friggin amazing for some of my local roads. Alas they were never road legal here and any with a CA registration are 7k+. Mentals.
Still got my TZR250, not roadworthy at the moment but similar to a coke habit in terms of thrills and expenses. Around town it requires hooligan/stunt man behaviour. I'm probably a bit heavy for it now. If you like v twins the SV is probably a reasonable choice, a bit pedestrian with sporty leanings. I'd rather go sensible or balls out. So CB500 or TZR250. None of them are seriously fast bikes though, get a 1000+cc bike and you'll never want to run it ragged.
