You have to concider the depretiation value on the bike VS the car. Bikes dont last long, 30k is about their best life. The RPM's they turn just destroy the engine quicker, you could always rebuild the engine or buy a new one but in my experiance people dont do that very often, they just sell the bike before it gets too bad and the next owner will park it after something breaks.

The SVO will retain great value and eventually start going up in value (Eventually.) If the engine goes then build a bigger and badder engine for it. Also its safer IMO.

Though the new Ninja is some kickass beast, but anyways I would go with the SVO, fit at least 3 passengers. Ever see 3 passengers on a bike? It aint cool.

I would go with the SVO. You can seat more people and drive it even on rainy and cold days. One thing you might have to think about is with the SVO, you have to run premium gas which is well over $3 bucks a gallon.
