Didn't mean to say no to the S. Any SV650 will take you from beginner to 'fast grinner'.
I've ridden one, and that is the bike I would choose if I was just starting out, either standard, S model or the Vstrom 650. Sounds like you've got the right mindset for it. Just remember two things: they are ALL out to kill you, and your accident avoidance skills from cycling will translate to moto-riding, but you'll need to adjust your reaction time because things happen faster at 60 than at 20.
