No. To take an example the GSXR 600 SRAD shock is much softer. 750 is a little harder (iirc) but longer and works well.
They will not behave as well as a shock built for SV and importantly built for the rider. But they are 1/10th the price.

I would not bother with a hagon. They are not much different from stock, still an emulsion type shock, though they may be better set up (higher spring rate, thicker oil perhaps).
Given some cash to blow I would take a SRAD 750 shock, send it to maxton or PDQ and get them to spring and valve it for me.
Total cost about £280 and this will work, for all intents and purposes, as well as ohlins etc.
