Hehe, no I'm just amazed at how much of a better bike it is overall than my new SV was. Like you say though the SV is a much cheaper machine. I think the SV does look rather good, but I am loving the look of the Hornet too. Has a really aggresive look to it. Can't beat the SV on engine sound though, V twins always win!
But just the difference in braking is astounding. So much more bite to them, the SV's lacked any kind of feel and just felt spongy all the time. And on a brand new 06 plate SV, that isn't just dodgy pads!
