all i can say is im gob smacked (its a first). The first chance i got to open her up my words were "F### me!!". Its not so much the acceleration but the whole bike has changed. I've ridden a few different types of bikes (R6, R1 ect ect) so its not like i haven't experienced power before lol.

i was shocked. its much louder , runs a lot smoother, throttle is a lot more responsive........ oh and after 6k is a nice power kick

when your restricted you forget you have half the horsepower you should and think of it more as just having your top end capped (well i did anyway), been on a few org rideouts and I've never really noticed any difference between me and full power bikes as im usually somewhere up the front anyway so i was really just expecting 75+ to be alot quicker.

i was board sh!tless of my restriction after 4 or 5 months and really had the fight the urge to take them out (even worse when you know how lol), quite a lot of people on here who didn't know me well for some reason thought i was full power and TBH i myself am surprised i decided to stay legal

having said that im glad i did play it legal. Not for the fact that i've had a few ding dongs with pc plod, or when i had my accident i was asked to prove i was restricted a few weeks after and the fact that i would have been going a lot faster than i was, i certainly can say wouldn't be here today

i have always loved my sv to bits (could say a little to much ), I've never kept any of my bikes as long as i have this one but again those that know me well know that a TLs was on the cards months back and nearly purchased, i may still get one end of summer, but for time being i can enjoy my sv because another advantage of pulling out the restrictors after all this time is...... i now, to me have a new bike and have fallen back in love with my sv again and may now do all the mods i wanted to

trackdays here i come

God dam i envy you, i wish i could lift mine quicker, oh well.

Gonna stuggle to keep up with you now mate!!

My sv is full bhp out the shop but my er6f was slow as fook after 6months (restricted) its a long haul is 2yrs to get your restriction cleared but once its gone you never look back!

Full power for a year now and loving it, gratz bud!
