Not sure what bikes you get up there, but the Yamaha FZ6R and Suzuki GSX-650F might also be options. They're both inline 4's, but the engines are detuned for lower torque from what I've read so they're good for normal riding. Both also have a more upright riding position like a Ninja 650. Around here, they are all about the same price used except the SV's you can find for a lot less. The SVF's I don't know much about, but they don't look like they have the same heart as regular SV's.
