Default first bike purchase

I am going to be purchasing my first street bike, I have looked at the suzuki SV650 and GS500F, along with the kawasaki ninja 500. I think I am most inclined to get the Ninja or GS and from what I can tell they look like very similar bikes. I know this is a suzuki board but I figure people have general experience, is it all pretty much looks or does one have advantages over the other. after taking the MSF class and having done some dirt bike riding I have a idea of what I am looking for out of this bike and the Ninja and GS seem to both fit that bill well. the SV650 looks like a great bike, but I don't really like the looks and the 650S is too expensive for me.

thanks.
