Err excuse me but WTF I know there are a few mods to their bike but by god try thinking that Pete and Lissa's SV struggles.

Personally never had a prob with mine either.

Discuss...

they might mean the suspension struggles two up??

It's pretty lame two up. Wheelies more often though

Even so...Pah? I'm a 115kg lard and with someone on back i've never struggled.

It's fine but a fair whack slower. Biggest power mod for the SV - lose the gut!

I never had any problems 2-up, speed and power really didn't make any difference really... i guess it depends how lardy your pillion is!

never as lardy as me

hmmm...an underpowered bike with cheap suspension doesn't do well with pillions.

That's a head scratcher.

Pah rubish, every time I got caught speeding was on the SV two up, while following pair of GSXR's and a ZX7. There was well over 20 stone on the bike then, and I got done at 99.1 and 97.5, with a peak speed of 110. The only reason I got caught the first time was cus I slowed down for the slow arsed ZX7.

In fact on the bends cus the back-end was more planted, I could really push the bike about a lot more. Many times we got somewhere and Jax had been picking the flowers on the roundabouts.
