I have not ridden an SV650 but their reputation is excellent and I think it sounds like a good choice. In the back of my mind is a V-Strom at some point. An Alaska trip is on my bucket list.

Logging miles on a bicycle like you have is a huge help. I did the same and feel much safer on the motorcycle all geared up than I ever did on the bike. Of course you're not doing 70 in traffic on a 4 lane freeway on a bicycle either.

Seems like you are on the right track. Buy your gear where you can try it on. I have car and motorcycle helmets from Bell and Arai and each manufacturer and each model fit differently.
