Oh, I don't think the SV takes very well to being wheelied either
Actually, if you ride it all year round and through the bad weather, keeping it in pristine condition is nigh on impossible.
Here in Indianpolis we have strange weather. I've only taking it out once below freezing. I usually only ride when it's 50 degress or higher. I keep it in excellent condition. Constantly cleaning off dirt, salt, lubing the chain etc.

Other than the suspension (that can easily be fixed) what makes the SV650 a crap bike for stunts in comparison to a GSXR or R1 (other than the obvious power differences). Why would a wheelie be unthinkable on a SV650s but not on a GSXR?
