depends what you compare it to. An ordinary run of the mill family car isnt going to toast and SV off a set of lights. But it does run out of puff past 110mph ish...
Bikes arent about straight line performance and you'll eat most cars through a set of bends, but IMHO you might find it hard to leave behind a determined cage driver or one who can handle his car if the car has some poke. Something like an Imprezza or an EVO I think you're going to struggle to leave behind if the driver is capable.
Put it this way. I got outdragged on 6th gear acceleration by a 911 Turbo on the M6. It pulled away from me at 90 and I only started to catch it again when we got well into 3 figures... and that was on my GSXR which has a bit more poke than the SV does.
If you want my advice dont get hung up on 0-60 times and smoking your mates in their cars, just go out and ride.
