They can be a little Snatchy wich does not help if your clutch hand gets tierd in heavy traffic...

But they are sturdy and solid, I am a little on the short side and the only thing I really did not like was the weight.

Pushing it back on un-even ground was a bit of a pain.

Hello - I went from Bandit to SV as well, although mine were carbed Bandits - the big difference is the weight, SV feels like a 125 after a bandit!
