It is - I love it. The suspension is a little hard, but can be softened. The TFT isn't the best, but perfectly fine. The stock tyres aren't really appropriate for the UK climate, but they're being replaced this year. It has a slightly more aggressive lean than a (naked) SV, but it's far from being a sports bike and I'm comfortable enough on it for long distances. I didn't think I'd use the quick-shifter, but it turns out that I do
It's very quick, very agile and a lot of fun.
The other bike is a 1.7L Yamaha V-Max. I managed 57 MPG on the ride, Mark 42 MPG (which matters these days!)
