Just for fun, on my previous Gen 2 and my current Gen 3, I marked the twistgrip with a little blob of Tippex as close to the half throttle position as possible.
Rolling on from 70-ish mph in 6th on the Gen 2 (half-faired) on a flat private road and holding the throttle steady at the Tippex mark, I would hit 103 to 104 by GPS within half a mile or so, and maintain that speed.
On the Gen 3, the same 6th gear run on the same road would see 98 to 99 by GPS (the Gen 3 is of course without fairing and has a much more upright riding position).
An SV really doesn't need too much yanking on the throttle to get results
