Nice bike. What's the retail on one of those?
I think my next bike is probably going to be another Kawasaki. It's been a good bike and I like it more than many of the other crotch rockets I've ridden. It has a good feel to it! I'd be glad to let you ride it before it's gone if you want so long as you're careful and no stupid shit.. but I know you well enough, I think, to know that that's not what you're about.. I think I could trust you with it. lol
I think my next bike is going to be another Kawasaki though.. Maybe a little 636, or maybe a ZX10R or ZX12R--but I think that would really be too much bike to be fun. The bigger bikes aren't really my thing. I like to be able to open the throttle all the way up and not have to put a conscious effort into keeping the front wheel down. It comes up if and when you want it to on the 6R, but most of the time except in 1st and 2nd gear, it won't come up unexpectedly. I'll stick to 900's or smaller I think..
I just wish the aftermarket was a little better for Kawasaki.

The speed triples are a bit pricey, like $9,999 retail :\
I have always really like the kawi's, I really like the zx6r and rr's, sooo nice..
I'd go for the zx6r(636)
I would love to ride your bike, but I would feel uncomfortable you know, just so worried about the possibility that I COULD drop it you know? I guess its because I would never let anyone ride my bike :shrug:
On the SV, first will come up if you aren't leaning forward, 2nd second if you are trying it can come up, like instant on throttle around 5-7k and it will, but I don't know that from doing it on purpose lets say, I found out by accident lol..

Re: So....
Yeah.. I accidentally brought the front wheel up the first time going over a hill too fast and not leaning against the tank. It was the most breathtaking feeling, but kind of in a bad way.
I've been riding dirtbikes since I was a kid, and I owned a GSX-R for about a week a couple years ago--flipped it for a profit and only rode it once. Needless to say, I've done intentional wheelies before and everything on the dirtbikes, but it was a different experience on the ZX6R. Especially not expecting it!
"OHHHH SHIIIIIIIT............. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO" hahaha
If you'd like to give the 6R a shot, I'll let you take it out for a quick spin. I'm not talking about borrowing it for a day but a ride around the block or something wouldn't be out of line. I think the 636 is a pretty wicked bike too personally. It's not the biggest craziest bike but it's fast, it looks good, comes in several hot colors, and best of all--it's fuel injected. My 6R is carb'd. Not that big of a deal but it likes to toy with me when I cold start it after it's sat for several days. The ZX14R is definitely too much bike for me, but I'd like to ride one sometime. I don't have a need for a bike that big. I ride Bent Mtn with a few friends every once in a while with much bigger bikes, a few of which are stretched, and they kill me in a straight line but it's a much more even playing field in the twisties because the 6R is so light and handles like a dream.
