I'm just curious as to how they pull coming off a roundabout at 30mph because even in the smallest gear they have they can't be producing much power and torque at those speeds? Not that it would put me off trading the SV for one but it would bias my choice towards which ever 600 had the shortest gears. I.e. I don't want the fastest track bike, I want the fastest 30 to 70 bike.

SV gearing suits me fine as I never go over 130. Any vehicle geared for 170mph is wasted performance to me as I'd rather trade the crazy top end for better acceleration and flexibility.
