The riding position was lower then your EX500 but it also was on of the only years with factory clip-ons. Thirdly, it is not boring it is quite fun and capable of keeping up with EX500 but not beating it. Fourthly, I had it up to 115 mph at one point. Finally, I do agree the SV is a great bike to start on and you will never have to upgrade if you don't want to. But it does have more power then either of the 500s and is not as nimble.
