the sv is the same weight as a gsxr 1000 but it carry s its weight well due to all the weight of the engine being 'in line' which also makes it narrow.

i have been on the newer divvy (might have been the fazer as my brain is foggy) and it feels light and as standard i can get both balls of my feet down and i'm only 5ft fek all tall. the owner assured me that the bike had not been lowered.

its not till you have to pick a bike up that you realise the weight.
