I think the SV engine is superb, and sounds luvverleeee. I love the narrowness of the bike as well (another benefit of 'V' twin), I can get both feet flat down with confidence and I am not the most long-legged bloke in the world. One other thing that surprised me as well was the lack of vibration of the engine from tickover to red line - an amazing feat of engineering by Suzuki.

As you know mine is a pretty early 1999 Curvy/Carby version.Once I'd dialled in a carb Balance and added some slightly larger diameter Gel grips I've ridden well over 200 miles in a day with no ,"Tinglies"
One thing I have noticed on my SV is around 7,000/8,000 revs there seems to be a nice power boost.Is this normal?If it isn't I don't care as I love it when overtaking a line of traffic on Dual Carriageways or Motorways.
