I'm so tired
Oh good, I need people to tell me what bike to buy. I'm looking for a big sporty twin. Gonna be used a lot for commuting, so some comfort is nice, but I'm willing to trade off some of that for performance on the weekends.

Currently I'm tilting pretty hard towards a Honda Superhawk (VTR), but I'd like to hear some other suggestions for things to look at. There's quite a few RC51s for sale around here but those seem like they might be a bit much/too uncomfortable, and an SV1000 seems like it might be a bit soft for when I make my modest attempts at the twisties. These are all just impressions I have and not based on any real evidence so feel free to shoot me down.

How hard should I think about a TL1000 if I find one in good shape? Should I pretty much ignore them in favor of an SV? Anything else? There's a guy selling an Aprilia Tuono around here that's a little out of my price range, but I'm really tempted to try to make that work :(
