and yes, underpowered in the top end, but the amount of torgue and oomph it has is mental!
Its a money saving scheme to be honest. The SV is pennies to insure compared to the ninja, especially at the grand age of 24!

I love leading and generally for this reason. I enjoy getting lost and how everyone else thinks you know where you're going haha.

Oh dear, where they all your fault?
I had a write off in may. Lucky it was a woman driver so in the eyes of the law, instantly her fault. Got a new Sv and a reasonably nice compensation pay out for it.

nope neither of them, 1st was on a roundabout, driver pulled out in front of me so i swerved to avoid them, (in hindsight i should have hit them) and came off. feckhead didnt stop so all on my insurance. got it repaired

second i was pulling into my works car park and girl went straight into the back of me and ran my bike over. wrote it off, i would have lost out if it wasnt for the errors made by the finance company so they gave me extra as compo lol

That first one sounds like a right pain! I agree in saying that if the options are: avoid a bad drivers and possibly wreck. Or hit the bad driver and walk away.
I'd take the hit everyday.
