Yeah, I ain't really done a long ride on the SV yet ... done Liverpool -> London -> The Ponderosa -> Liverpool in the space of 2 days (about a round trip of something like 500 miles), but that was on a CBF1000 :/ An hour commute on the SV and I'm wanting a break. Not because of my 'arris ... but cos of all the pressure on the wrists ... fingers start to go numb! I'm sure you'll love the long ride tho
