OMG what a bike. It is light, handles like a dream, very fast has bucket loads of low down torque but the engine is so smooth.

I was riding out of town doing about 20mph in sixth gear on the SV I would drop two cogs before accelerating away or risk leapfrogging down the road. The Triumph just picked up and accelerated without any fuss or vibration. The engine is so smooth.

It combines the best of a twin and an in-line four engine I don't know how they have managed it but you have to experience it to believe it.

Warning if you try it you will buy it I did and I did not go on the test ride with the intention of buying one but I did and it's coming Saturday. It is significantly better than everything else I have tried or owned SV650, ER6N, Fazer, Z750, Superduke to name a few.

I will be sorry to see the SV go but at least it is being replaced by the best model currently out there.
