I went from a full power SV, to a K5 750 ( the chavvy one the nice Mr Spiderman is on about above )

It scared the sh*te out of me the first time I opened the throttle hard once I had done the intial running in....

Once you get used to it, its fine, but it will take some getting used to. Just treat it with some respect and build up the throttle openings gradually and you'll get on fine with.

A fine bike, even if I do say so myself

It should ride the bumps better, mine definately does.

Oh and just wait till your restriction is off, and you've run it in, say hello to 10000rpm goodness

My dad likes to undertake me on his 750 at silly mph in 3rd or 4th some where near the redline on full throttle.

The bike has a standard exhaust. The volume scares the living crap out of me each time he plays his "game"

Nice, as fizz says take the throttle steady when your off your restricted, when i rode my dads zx6 i twisted the throttle like i was on my sv, qaurt turn and it was still quick, but i never used it to its full potential, best bit was the brakes tho which im sure you'll notice as well.
