While coming home this evening in the "daylight", coming across a clear blackfriars bridge and straight green lights down to the Elephant & Castle - Lovely.

Then getting caught at the lights, I had a 600RR, ER-6, FireBlade and CG-125 and all of them pulled away from me, until I got up into 2/3 and overtook the 125 - but the other 3 were just pulling, pulling, pulling away. I'll discount the FireBlade, but the other 2 - I thought the SV might have been able to keep up.

No.

The SV seems to only come good while pushing over 40, which around London does not allow much.

Unhappy now...
