On a straight road, without a doubt. But in the twisties? not so sure. Remember the SV puts its power on lower down the rev range so the extra bhp on the IL4 that it has wont even come into it since its usually available at the top end and at the higher speeds.
It will come down to the handling and the SV is as competent a bike as a SS. Ive outdone a Fazer thou and CBR6 on a track simply because the SV is a tighter turning bike.
I dont think this is actually that clear cut that the ss would win hands down. I agree with Dr Rich that there wouldnt be much in it at all.
