Re: SV650 Vs Bandit 600.

Bought the 12. Love it pulls in every gear like a train. Can potter along in 5th gear and still picks up amazingly well in 5th. It's a heavy old beast to push about out of the garage and to swing back onto the centre stand but apart from that no complaints. My skills aren't honed enough to judge how well it handles.

Re: SV650 Vs Bandit 600.

I wouldn't take the figures on paper as much of an indication of real world performance. I've just been on a trip to the Nurburgring and back with my mate who has a Yamaha Tunhdercat 600. On paper his bike should be much quicker than mine but in the real world I have no trouble keeping up with him in fact from a standing start my SV is much quicker off the mark.

His Thundercat does have a higher top speed, it'll probably his about 140 but who cares, noone does that speed on the road.
