The PB test was a weird one, the SV did outrageously well... So did the F800. They do it on a marked-out track at Bruntingthorpe, I suppose it's possible that the SV's extra-special sponge suspension helps out on the really bad stuff But more likely it was something in the testing, different rider or conditions, or somesuch. Or someone put a decimal place in the wrong place in the time.
