Is their any easy way to get a GSX-R600.....

The SV is a powerful bike. I'm very interested by the SV for my first bike but I have to admit that I do question if it really his the best beginner bike. I'm not interested into racing the bike or trying out the highway at indecent speed (I prefer to be indecent in the comfort of my home :shock: ). Having a family, the bike would become my main means of transportation to commute to work when not in winter (6 months per year, maybe 7 and if were really lucky 8 months). My commute is about 30km (that's one way) with a mix speed limits from 30km/h to 80km/h.

Oh well, anyway, my budget will probably be the main factor in reality.

Suzuki Canada website shows both the SV650S and SV650.
SV650 = $8399
SV650S = $8699
in Canadian currency of course.

I have thought about that but I guess I'll have to decide when the shopping time actually comes. Although, I'd prefer the GS500F over the V-Strom. Check my quick comparison of riding positions.

Yep, the GS500F is certainly a great beginner bike with a nice sport look.
