The upright naked versions of the SV are great commuters. Very comfortable. Great gas mileage too and you can use regular 87 octane. It does highway speeds just fine and can hang in the twistys just like a sportbike. As a tourer, you may want do some mods in terms of comfort like a screen and a more comfortable seat.
Then it becomes a question of if you want to fuel injected or carburated. If you want fuel injected, I would go with 2004-when they stopped making them. The 2003 was the odd-ball year. If you like carbs, then go with 2002 to when when they started making them.
