I think this competes more with the Ducati Monster. It looks nice with the new frame work, but I think the motor is still the same one used in the SV650. I would not mind having one of these.
If ya'll will notice, the SV Standard is missing from the 2009 line-up on the website. So, I don't think it's meant to compete with the SV, but meant to replace it. It also looks like it's purposely built to compete with the Kawasaki Versys. Which, got the MOTY award.
Anyway, the black looks good. The other one's a little ghey. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
