Default Re: Sv650 goat?

I liked the sentiments but not the video itself. No mention that the SV650 was derived from the SV400 JDM? My AL7 doesn't have an LED headlight but does have an LED tail light.

In road tests of the new generation of 270° parallel twins there is always the comment that it makes them sound and feel like a V twin. As an owner of Yam's CP2 engine and an SV, I'm sceptical - one comment I read about the new GSX-8S Suzuki was that it was the most V twin-like of all the current manufacturer's parallel twins.


I wonder how much it costs to build the SV, development costs must have been paid for many years ago.
