Don't even have to think about foibles when riding the SV, or any special requirements, at the ( legal ) speeds I ride at it handles fine, I have to say it is nicer to ride with the Avon Storms on, they really suit the SV, and give confidence.. The only requirements of the SV seem to be oil and fuel and a bit of air in the tyres. For the money it really is a competent all rounder with well sorted engine and spot-on fuelling. Nice in traffic or on clear roads. I only originally got my SV because I loved the sound of the exhaust, then found out what a competent fun bike it is later....

Hardly ever use clutch on upshifts, the gearbox really is sweet....
