It's good to be back home.
I just collected my 4th (not in a row) sv650s today after having a large number of 1000cc IL4 bikes.
Couple of points to note on coming back to an Sv. -C oming from an gsxr-1000 and cbr929rr, this bike is SLOOOOWWW! It feels like it's restricted to 33bhp! I really can't get over the gap between what, 65bhp and 130bhp! - The front end is very spongy - The brakes are quite really quite dire - Even the torque is not all that. More like "What torque?" - It feels wrong to ride it above 5k. - The seat height is so damn low, I feel like I giant riding it. But you know what? All those things above are good things. I love it. Much better than my previous blade for my style of riding. I imagine the full akrapovic system has something to do with the large smile on my face though. I've not had that feeling in ages! |
