Default Is the SV100S the Perfect Twin?

Howdy,

I just surfed in as a new member. I've been looking for the perfect twin. I haven't ridden for 12 years, but I love big, torquey twins and the low end grunt and real-world excitement of usable power. I've owned Moto Guzzis and Harleys. I was looking into the new Buell Firebolt XP12S as well as the Ducati Monster SP. I really wanted a water cooled engine, a good frame and a reliable company - plus value. I found that the Buell is really a bit of a mess and the Ducati is overpriced. I was happy to find that Suzuki was offering what I was looking for for thousands less. I am not planning to buy till spring, but it looks like I found a home.

Are there happy owners out there? Are these bikes capable of two-up cruising? Long trips? Are the '04s any different from the '03s? I haven't been able to find any info on the differences. Thanks.
