Yes the naked model is more upright. BUT… You can replace the triples and cables on the SVs with those from the SV and have the same more-upright position if you so choose (or go with ConvertiBars). Not too expensive of a change, as the parts become readily available from others doing the opposite swap or upgrading to gsxr front ends (check out the svrider.com forum).
As long as the maintenance has been done and the bike hasn’t been wrecked, there’s no reason it shouldn’t last a long, long time.
