Having ridden plenty of bikes with simple damper rod forks (bandit 600, 1200, SV, VT500, Bros, etc) I would say the SV forks are no worse than any of the others. I'm pretty light, and even I prefer slightly stiffer forks springs in them, and I've generally preferred marginally thicker oil too. But they're genuinely not nearly as bad as some make out.
