Ahh the dilema I'm facing. Especialy after getting my SV remaped, the torque curve is even flatter, and I really like it that way.

After trying the ZX-6R, I liked the amount of power, and even thought the low down grunt was decent enough for my tastes, I just didn't like the violent transition between the two!

But then I had a brief ride on a Thundercat, which felt closer to my SV than the 6R in terms of power curve

So now I'm even more confused as what bike I want next
Ill give the Cat a vote, well i would seein as i have one brill bike m8, comfy, economical (180 miles out of a tank is the most ive managed, and NO i dont ride like an old lady :P) looks maybe a bit dated now but i think it still looks a cracking bike(especially in black), nice 'n' chunky. You dont have to ride it like a hooligan its quite happy pottering thru traffic but if u winde it up it fast a bloody nuff. All in all a great bike.
