Just sit comfortably in the seat and grip the tank GENTLY with your knees. Roll along in first gear and DO NOT TOUCH THE CLUTCH. Don't think about a "bounce" yet, Keep It Simple Stup...

Even though the bounce can help, when you are first starting, I think it pays more to concentrate on being smooth.
Anyway, you're rolling in first below your torque peak, say, 6000rpm. Then GENTLY roll off the throttle to load the front springs a little. You might drop to 5500rpm. Once the springs are loaded, just twist the throttle open, quickly, but smoothly. Try different rpm, too. You have to practice to get the feel for it. If the sensations involved don't allow you to feel everything that's going on, you are probably not comfortable enough on the bike yet to even be trying this stuff. If that is the case, don't sweat it. Just spend as much time learning to ride as you can, and all the BS will come naturally in time. One thing's for sure: the front WILL come up on a SV1K if you open the throttle quickly, and your weight has nothing to do with it.
As long as you are somewhere with no cops and no traffic, you could also accelerate slowly away from a stop sign or light, and open the throttle up right as you ride over the crown of the road. This will loft the tire even easier than tugging on the bars.
Just don't whack or pop anything, and practice a little. Oh yeah, and general rule of thumb, don't listen to anyone that rides a GSX-R on the street. He may be a really good rider, but if you don't know him well, the odds are much stronger that he's a wanna-be stuntah street squid, yo.
