Prior to the weekend I thought the SV was pretty good on the brakes, but I did a few laps around Lydden on Saturday and in the end one of the problems I had was the back coming up, especially down into Chessons where you are changing from left to right whilst hard on the brakes. My mate who was following me on a KTM Supermoto (only a 640 SMC Woof, not a proper one like yours) said it looked hilarious.
