All bikes loosen up and run more freely when run in. Depending on how you run in a new bike, will depend how the power is delivered to a certain extent.

I've been pretty much sticking to the 5k rpm limit. I have gone over it literally 2 or 3 times but only after I had been riding for 30 miles so the motor was well warmed up.

SV 135.1
Bandit 133.4

Braking 70-0
SV 48.3m
Bandit 50.4m

Bandit 72.5bhp
SV 69.7
(but the SV makes more for over half the rev bands)

Torque

Are those figures for the longer geared faired version or the naked?

Don't suppose they did 0-100 and standing quarter times as I am sure that is more where the Bandit has the edge as opposed to 0-60. I dunno what it is, it just seems to have a bigger rush to it.

Down a twisty road the SV is just so far ahead with its power delivery that its not even worth discussing but I am thinking dual carriageways here.
