My SV saw 145mph......

They shift a bit. They've got almost the same right from the bottom as the SV, but then they really get going.
Handles great with all stock settings.
Geometry is aggressive as hell, it has already turned when you're thinking about the corner.
Sounds crap at tickover but great when you give it a handful even with stock can.
The brakes are great.

But, too small for me. If I was in the market for a sportsbike as a road bike I'd pick a bigger one.

I just bought one recently 2ndhand for mostly track use as i still have the sv - i dont have it long enough to comment on reliability issues but i agree with most of what is said above - the brief rides i've had on it highlighted that it seems insanely quick compared to the sv everywhere, even from low revs but also has a ridiculous riding position (low narrow angled bars) which would be ok on track but not so much on the road - i will probably change the bars for something with more width and angles that i like - the engine management light was on but i readjusted the exhaust valve as per the manual and it has now gone out (i think somebody had messed about with it before i bought the bike)
By the way it sound really good even with stock exhaust but even better with something less restrictive. The reason i bought one was because looking at dyno graphs i thought it might be an easier transition from the sv with similar power/torque at low/mid revs but then goes way beyond and its something a little bit different as i've never see any around here
