Once again I am just expressing an opinion as does everybody on the forum. I still suggest it is not so much not what you ride but how you ride - basically for most people if you ride within your own and the bike's and the road's limitations then only minor adjustments are really necessary over stock.
Most people manage to do the GSXR conversion very cheaply after selling off their stock parts. There are a lot more GSXRs than SVs out there to raid the parts bin for!

Agonising over tyre choice... makes perfect sense. Well worth a lot of consideration.

Why would I want to ride within the stock bikes limitations though?
