I agree. When I am a bit more afluent (IE actually get a job again) I will no doubt get something better. But I can still have so much fun on the SV. It's almost more satisfying getting a bike like that to go quick as oposed to so super slick race rep - just requires a bit more work. I do aggree that the damping is pretty cr*p, and you do notice it on uneven roads. she quite often goes a bit wayward on corners with potholes etc but you just pre-empt the poor damping and compensate. at least it means you don't have to spend ages tryting to work out the best compression and rebound settings - that really used to annoy me in MX, there were so many possible combinations to play with.
