I'm quite prepared to admit mine was a little tired with 36K on the clock, but thats still how it felt, I never really found any useful benefit about revving all the way to the limiter, used to change at 9K ish, but was definately on its way to feeling flat in terms of performance at that point.
Liz's pointy seems to feel like it rev's a bit harder for longer from memory but its so long since I've ridden that my memory is hazy.
Thing is to compare the two.
8K in 6th on the SV, compared with 8K in 6th gear on the GSXR, the GSXR feels hell of a lot more eager at that point than the SV ever did. Just surges forward whereas the SV to me in comparision feels slow.
I think this is more to do with the fact that the GSXR is twice the BHP of the SV. Rather than comparing IL4 with a twin.
