hiya mate & welcome to the org,
as above, the steering geometry on the Inline 4 sports bikes is more focused & their power is at the top end. With the sv being a v-twin engine layout, the torque is lower down the rev range at about 7 thousand revs & it really pulls. As a result you never really get any wobble up front (apart from going over the mountain at cadwell when the front lifts, and even then it only wobbled a tiny bit - see my avatar
)
I'll be looking at getting some stiffer springs & some thicker oil in my forks since I'm a big guy & I'm putting some new sinterred EBC brake pads & HEL braided lines on the front brakes. More braking power = suspension diving more. I figured if I stiffen the front up a bit it should feel better but it's far from shocking ride quality.
As for the rear shock, I'm going to look at a nitron shock since the standard one is ok but as you learn to ride more, you can tell where the bike could be improved slightly.
I'd totally recommend the sv - wouldn't want to be "just another il4 rider" :P tonnes of character and totally chuckable in corners
