For me it just looks so bland. I wish manufacturers would try a few original ideas even if it means taking a chance. I know the SV is placed in an certain market bracket but crikey, try and make it stand out a bit.
I think Ducati are bringing out a retro 650 next year, at least they're having a go and trying to be different. Whack an SV engine in something that looks a bit more like this and I'll be the first to applaud.
