I just took a gander at that SV BuzZz and it's pretty sweet looking. Though I'd be inclined to pull the handguards off. And I'd replace the bars too. Move the pegs back an inch and clean up the front a little. Then I'd sell it and buy the new 599 over at Honda Extreme. HAH, sorry, I had to.
No man, that's a sweet looking ride. And if you can afford it, I'd say gopher it.

Passed the MSF already and, the only way my life insurance is worth anything is if I'm headed to a call for my volunteer fire department. By bigger, she meant something in the 650 cc cruiser range. I've read all the great info here about horsepower vs cc. I'm also not a "kid" looking to drive 100 mph through the twisties. Last but certainly not least, she's already insisted on me getting the full "power ranger outfit". Gotta love an understanding wife who wants the best for ya. But, thanks for the concern all! 
Anyway, back to the topic, I still say go for it if you can afford it!

Slept on it lastnight, and......
Ain't no smarter today
. You'd think I'd be used to that by now.....
But I think I'll take a run at this bike anyways...... sure it's for Lana, but I'm the one who's throwing down for it. If I have to, I'll try the old 'it's got my name on it, I'm gonna ride it today..... Honey? Please? C'mon..... I'll arm wrestle you for it.....'
Sev .... I see you. I realize you are talking sense and being practical and all. I ain't talkin' to you.
Loonette almost got relegated to Sev's position, but she pulled it out at the end there.
And They Call Me Bruce.... I seen the parallel immediately, too. I'm just luckier.... I went in there to look at Ducati's.... that was a close one.
I actually took Lana in to see how she liked the Burgman. Up till that point, she was into Burgy..... a machine that would never have me begging to swap rides for awhile, but would have been a great baggage wagon for my stuff on long trips
...... but alas, Lana has more hotrodder in her than that....
The only problem with all of this is that I fail to see how it ends up with ME on a new bike....

"Ahem, honey, I can't keep up with you on that beast. This odd doddering FJ just won't do it. I gotta get me a gsxr-1000."
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I was going to give you a call, but ran out of time. You'd think if I could travel over 150 miles on a workday to get to an appointment on time, the dickwads who made the dam thing could make a small effort to keep their end of it. But nooooooo, they want you there 15 minutes before the appointed time, so that they can make you sit there reading Cosmo for 3!!!! f'n hours before they decide it's your turn. 
Then when you ask why this would be, they say, 'That's just how we do it. We want you here at such-n-such a time so that you are here waiting when we have time to see you. I really don't see why it's such a problem. it doesn't bother us...' Yep, healthcare works just fine.... unless your sick or injured. But if your a doctor or a nurse, it is just peachy-keen.
But I'm not F'n bitter. Not one bit. I just wish I could work on nothing but doctor's cars. They would just LOVE my appointment methods...... and they would pay in full before they even got to sit in the dam car again. Then I would make them drive it Winnipeg to get tested in a different shop, wait 2 weeks for them to call me with the results and then have to bring it back before the odd numbered cylinders would fire. All at their own expense and during working hours. I did mention I wasn't bitter, right? Yeah, thought so.....
As for you feeling up my possible new bike..... It's been sitting on the showroom floor for 2 years. You, me, Lana and every other fiend who entered the store has groped that poor bike half to death.
And that's not nearly so disturbing as what I did to yours last summer....
And you thought that was tree sap......
