+12bhp (and the corresponding torque boost) at under 6K rpm is a very big boost.

The slight issue I have with all such dyno runs is that they're done at full throttle, it would be interesting to see what the gains are (for example) one-third or half throttle, which is what the majority of riders use the majority of the time. I rarely find myself needing more than half throttle on the SV because of the mid-range zip and grunt.
