I personally own both (sv650 and street triple r) personally I wouldn't compare them to each other. The striple/r is a titties out version of the Daytona 675/r, handling, power, braking, fit and finish are all leaps and bounds better than the sv650.
However the sv650 is the "jack of all trades but master of none!" it does everything good just not great, it's cheap to maintain, parts are everywhere you look and has been bomb proof since day one!

Whoops. Thanks! Mental error typing quickly.

Dude. Buy this bike, I guarantee you won'r regret it, UNLESS: you want to impress women or look cool while leaning against it in the Timmies parking lot. It can't do either of those well.
Cheap to run, Cheap to insure, Not a theft target so you can park it ANYWHERE with no worries and it has a comfortable riding position
Riding it: the naked's have shorter gearing than the faired ones, so acceleration is pretty damn good AND there is lots of torque for a 600 (similar to most older 600's), available really low in the powerband, which makes for a fun bike to ride at legal speeds.
I've test-ridden all the japanese I-4 2014 600's and all of them are BIG yawns at legal speeds. So if you wanna have fun and keep your license, SV is the ticket, I swear. It's too practical for me to get rid of.

Are SVs not cool anymore?

I want to know what the OP thinks about the Gladius vs. the new SV.
The Gladius is discontinued now, and the 2015 model is on sale.
Pretty much the same thing, isn't it?

Agreed. The newer model looks leaner and meaner, even a bit "industrial". I like it.
