BTW, whether something "tail's away" on a dyno graph all depends on the vertical axis scale on the graph.
The SV produces 28 ftlb from 2500 revs, peaks at 47, and "tails off" to about 35.
Most of the IL4's produce 15ftlb at 3000 revs. Peak at about the same, and "tail off" at about 35 as well, albeit both at much higher revs
By comparison if you put the two on the same vertical axis scale, the SV would have a relatively flat torque curve, which is what makes it pull like a bigger bike lower down the rev range
