Whilst i would have loved to have seen that how much power do you really need for the road. I'm only new to this biking game but i've had quick cars before and they wouldn't touch the SV in straight line. As far as i can see so far (i reckon i've only unleashed 10% of the bikes potential) the SV has enough power to provide all the fun i could ever want on the roads. Also I vaguely recall that the new R1s can do 130mph in 2nd, the point being? Lovely on a track i would imagine but for the roads?
Also an R1, i think my licence would disappear in minutes unless i stacked it due to the bike being way beyond my abilities.
