I'll just add a general thing about V-Twins and another reason why I love them,"Engine Braking".And the SV650 has some of the best IMHO.
Once you incorporate the use of engine braking whilst riding it's sheer joy to me on some of the TT roads we have up-t-North here in Yorkshire.
Riding isn't always about acceleration and top-speeds to me.It's the whole kit and caboodle.Setting myself up for sweeping bends and throttling off with next to no use of brakes and no loss of traction
or even coming down into tight Twisties combining brakes and engine braking is superb
