I love my GSXR600 k8, it's supprising how comfy it is. At motorway speeds you can rest your arms on your legs taking the weight off your wrists. I find it more comfy for my style of riding, I found changing gear harder on the SV aswell, i think it was the postion of the pegs, on the gixer you barley have to move your foot to slot it home. Loving it
