Ok, I think I need to rev my bike more to access some more of its performance (I know though that its not a SS600

).

I reckon I'm far too easy on the bike as I rarely see over 8k rpm, especially in the lower gears. Now I'm not scared of the acceleration or anything just don't want to mess up the bike!! Although I keep reading bikes are not like cars and are supposed to be revved.....

So am I missing out?
How much do you rev your SV650?
