thinkin bout a new bike
I just found out that I have to work at a store that is about 50 miles away from where i live now. My g/f doesn't want to move (i dont really want to either) and i am faced with a long commute that i dont want to do in my car everyday. I have ridden before but this will be my first new bike. I have two in mind that i want but i want your feed back on which one is better for a daily driver.these:

Hey man, both those bikes will be good commuter bikes, i personally am probably going to purchase a new sv for myself her soon. I just dont like the looks of the Fz6.
I think you will be happy with both of them if your not going for a 200mph racer boy bike
Also, i called the dealership and i dont think the 08' sv's come out till like march bro. thats why i will prolly have to get the 07'.

also a 160 rear on the sv will be a little cheaper than the 180 on that yamaha. yamaha is 50cc less, has bigger gas tank, and weighs like 30+ pounds more.
my oppinion go with the v-twin.
