Re: Ride on Thursday
Yes, the SV is pretty much perfect for me. Having moved from a K6S to an AL7, all of the SV's best qualities are still there in spades. The latest tweaks to the engine (plated bores, coated pistons, revised flywheel weights, revised head design, new injectors etc) have subtly improved pretty much everything, all through the rev range.
The only downside is the brakes, the ABS plumbing has removed some of the initial bite. You quickly get used to just having to squeeze the lever a bit harder. However, this might have been fixed with the 2019-on bikes, as they've now got 4-pot calipers
