Brakes, radially mounted with far more stopping power.
Suspension- Far better unit’s front and rear, showa all round full adjustable with USD forks.
Engine- Well power is 105 at the rear wheels tested, and a top speed of a genuine data logged 162 MPH. Personal taste may cause people to say they prefer the V-twin. Fair enough I am dealing in facts for this argument.
Handling- a world of difference, the Kwak is far far more capable than all but the very best riders out there. Certainly none on this site including me could push it to its limits.

The only thing that is subjective is the looks really. I am not slagging off the SV, I had one loved it and would have one again as a second bike. I am simply stating facts that the Kwak is better than the SV.

not me sunny jim................. although i was toying with the idea of getting a black naked curvy

but when i had the 1997 cbr 900 and the sv, i went out on the sv, after 1 hour i was so bored and pee'ed off, it was slow, did not want to stop, and made loads of noise, but did not acctuly do anything................... it was easier to wheelie though

Its cheaper thefore alowing more people to get biking. Its forgiving therefore better for a new rider. Its better through traffic than an IL4 (Proved on more than one accasion) and SV riders tend to be less aggressive than Kwak Riders

Nope and I don't miss the SV either. It was like having the discomfort of an SS bike with none of the benefits! Of course I could have bought the unfaired version but hey!
