So true.

Although I once got 118 miles out of a tank with optimax. Not bad for an early hornet

Just ReAD RiDE.

Yes very good test and good info. Pitting a old curvy against a newer Hornet was never gonna be fair...but fair play the SV done good.

But £3000 u could find a nice pointy and game on.

First time the Thundercated Fazer got a pasting. That was the big shock of the test.

The old model Fazer is getting too long in the tooth. Great bike tho.
Nothing wrong with the Hornet tho, great engine and big fat tyre. Needs a race can and keeping in the upper rev range but can be a fun ride.
In all honesty apart from the FI they didn't make any great improvements on the markII SV, the suspension is still crap.
