Here you are... All in order. Not a bad review. Though what they say about the Falco engine being detuned isnt really right. The falco is down about 2 BHP from the RSV peak but gains a SHED load in the middle! :D

Hovis... you know you want one :p

I always thought that they were an underrated bike. I was very tempted to get one, but went for the Speed Triple instead.

Im still not sure what colour to do mine... Matt black is winning atm. :rolleyes:

I might get a PCIII on some time... I need to get the heads checked (major service) then Dyno it to check fuel mix after gabro chip (ECU change) and then see what the craic is. :)

What power it saying you got then Jack the hammer?

i think it'll be either be a falco or a futura for my next bike either or not for a while though this sv will do for a couple of years yet.

Pete's Falco.

I think black is the best colour for these.

Says its turning out 118.summat BHP and 70.1 lb/ft torque :-)

I can live with that LOL

Its a shame that when they put it on the dyno there was no before and after - i asked for a customer map for it so they started from scratch rather then finding out that the old stats were

never mind
