I haven't ridden a V-Strom, but I've got a 2001 SV (the unfaired version). The SV is just as smooth as my '05 T100, maybe a slight bit smoother. It's also noticeably more powerful. The SV has a great engine (I haven't ridden one of the newer fuel injected ones), and with upgraded suspension, a better seat, and a good-sounding pipe it's what I have referred to as "a keeper". The handling is great - it's an all-around good bike.
But it's not a British twin...
