Totally +10

Even when I ride over the N Yorkshire Moors to Whitby,some of my favourite roads,the steep up-and-down gradients are nothing to the SV650 engine.It just effortlessly eats them up and purrs.




IIRC the SV650 engine was designed as a Motorcycle engine and not taken from other vehicles as some Motorcycle engines have been.I think this shows in it's solid performance
