Default headlight bulbs, why on 45w?

Is there any valid reason why UK sv`s, according to my owners handbook have 45/45w bulbs fitted?

I bought a new pair of bulbs to put in, but theyre standard car wattage, 55/60w, will they be ok on an `01 faired sv?

Thanks, Lee

No idea, but the 60/55s work fine.
