Re: Finally, I own an SV
Yeah pretty much. The bikes pretty much all will go up at tickover rpm but the clutch doesn't last long on the astra.
The 200tdi discovery OTOH didn't seem to struggle any more than it did hauling it's excessive bulk along anywhere else.

Re: Finally, I own an SV
How does it being naked make it easier to get up the hill?

Re: Finally, I own an SV
Makes it much easier to turn around at the bottom, the faired ones are much heavier at the front so quite hard to spin on the sidestand compared to the naked, not such a problem on the flat, but at an angle to a steep slope it's a bugger.

Re: Finally, I own an SV
I suggested that, but MissYC don't want fairings, plus it doesn't change the turning circle for the cliff face driveway!
