Looking to upgrade to an FZ-07 or FZ-09 from my '01 Ninja 500. Anyone have any experience with either of these bikes? Leaning towards the 09 for the extra power and more solid feel (only sat on both, never ridden either).
I rode my dad's Harley 1200 for several years before buying the Ninja. Kinda looking for something that's a cross between the two. Relative lightweight and sporty handling, peppy motor...but a comfortable riding position for 2-3hr rides.
Also considering the Suzuki SV650.
Thoughts/opinions/comments?

The SV650 is honestly nothing special, its not that much of a drastic upgrade from what you have now.
My step-dad had a sportster 1200 when I had my FZ6 (not the slower R), and my bike would walk all over that thing. I did a few 10+ hour rides on it, and the FZ9 has a better feel for long riding in my opinion... Also consider the FJ.
I've ridden my buddy's Vstrom 650 a few times. Seems like it has a similar posture and fairing to the FJ. It felt a little bulkier than I'd like, although It would be ideal for touring.
