as for handling fresh out the box its ok till you get a wiggle on then it will bite you in the ass the first moment it can. stick some decent performance springy bits on and its simply stunning at going round corners (in the right hands).


comfort.. ermm well its torture is the only way i can describe it but it can be sorted.


CC's are not everything and a well fettled SV proves it.
True , I was going to write 'seems lightweight' . I always describe them as 'flickable'

And yes, comfort - not great on longer rides for me and my knees are agony (but have rearsets on) on proper hoons
