Pile up to it as fast as you can then hammer on the brakes at the last minute, preferably sliding the rear a little. Wobble around it really slowly keeping the bike as close to vertical as possible, while sticking your knee out as far as it'll go. On exiting the corner, speed off as fast as you can doing rubbish wheelies.

The only actual useful thing I'd add to what's ben said is just trust the Blue Cow... As long as you're smooth about it, an SV on decent tyres will go around bends you wouldn't believe. If it does start to go wrong, jumong on the brakes will just make you crash slightly slower, while trusting the bike, looking through the corner and countersteering will 9/10 get you through a bend even if you're sure you're going to crash.

Learned that the hard way
