The SV is the first bike I've owned with clip-ons.

My only other bike I've had was my Bandit 6/750, and that of course had the obligatory renthals.

Now, it's been near on 10 months since I last rode a bike, and having just taken the SV for a quick 50 yard blat down the road and back (pre-MOT shakedown run), it felt flippin weird!!!

My low speed stability is naff, and my cornering is gonna be diabolical until I get used to it.

Anyone else make a similar move (from flat bars to clip-ons)?

If so, what did you make of it, and does it still feel weird now?
