OP - the SV is a perfect bike. Very forgiving, lots of torque, very forgiving, and good at slow speeds.
Straight line was fine, but corners seemed a bit hairy as I was going faster than I normally would so had to shed a lot of speed very fast. I guess the thou is the same but more oomph and torque.

If you do get one then invest in a scotoiler, your bike will love you for it.
