It's possible... but it sure felt weak down low... I'd have to put a 14f/47 rear on this 2008 to make it feel anything close to what my 99 had with 15f and 46r on the sprockets...

It felt like it was closer in power to my dad's 83 maxim/seca 650 than my 99 sv650s.

The engine sounded OK though... but all I know is given how much I gave it gas I should have been at a higher speed when I looked down...

On the main 80km road it was a bit better.. but not by much...

I am really going to have to try some more 2nd generation SV650s, I can't believe they all feel like this.
