DON'T DO IT!!

I did exactly this in 2007, test rode one while my SV was being serviced, then ordered a 750!

In the two years I owned it, I covered a whopping 2000 miles.

Extremely fast, but even more importantly EXTREMELY uncomfortable.

Now back with an SV. I miss the 750's power, but I don't miss the agony after an hours ride, the boring engine/exhaust note that all IL4s make, (as in, every IL4 sounds the same) and it had no soul.

The SV has a certain something.

Not saying that an SV cannot be beaten, of course it can, but for me, right now, it's perfect.

And to put it in perspective, since 03/03/09 I've covered well over a 1000 miles. Although not alot, because I use mine for fun only, still more per year than the GSXR!!
