Yes, you're getting old, that's the problem.

In all seriousness compared to the SV (650), there isn't as much of a torque difference as people make out. Compared to a thou v twin, probably a lot of difference!

It might be considered buzzy but I love it and that rush at the top end!

Matt, like your overtaking style I do that when cars are tailgating me lol, just show them a quick burst of acceleration to show them the bike is farrrr superior in acceleration to their car, and I am just choosing to go at the speed I am at. LOL!
