Yeah sorry im on about the 900cc model that my friend has. At 80mph though, it'll pull on the SV, but its about the same as my 650 Bandit to about 120 (leptons per hour, not mph, as thats illegal
) at which point it starts to hit a brick wall due to the shape.
I'd believe an SV can keep with a GSX thou up to 60mph. On bikes you get there so quickly, and the SV is geared so short. You need to be up in the rev band on the IL4, which makes it harder to get the power down. On the SV, power is instantly there, and looses out top revs. But your through 1st and into 2nd so quickly, 60mph really takes no time at all.
Its after that u'd loose out in every way
