I like Contiental Road Attacks myself. Here's where I got mine, although it looks like the price has gone up a little.

Edit: Looks like the Sport Attacks are about the same price.

I'm using BT021's on my CBR. They stick well and wear well.
I just priced a set from Moto Superstore for $247. They were in the 120/70 - 180/55 size, so narrower may be less?

If you call Cycle Sector right now Diego will sell you a set of BT-016s for $239 shipped in the sizes you posted. I think that this would be an excellent tire for the SV.

If you can get an order of 10 items or more MAW will sell to you at wholesale pricing and will still beat anyone else's price.

I have been doing this for 3 years or so now.

I just use the stock ones. I'm boring.

I put the roads on mine. Comonboys hasn't complained yet...

I've been very pleased w/my Michelin Pilot Roads. Have gotten a lot of mileage out of them but commuting is taking a toll. Lookin' at replacing w/Road 2s. W/AMA discount on Bike Bandit, I can get a set for $330. The Roads are about $270 to my door. Not too bad of a deal.
