675 vs SV1000

my 600 is nothing like that.

Most SS 600's have quite a longish first gear, upwards of 50-60, many go to 70+, most 2nds are close enough to 100 as makes no difference.

Anyway, I digress. The 675 will turn harder, will stop better, will go faster round corners, and will only lack a very small amount of drive out of corners.

then there is somthing seriously wrong

maybe i dont thrash it enuf? maybe thats why i get massive milage on my tyres

According to the stats I could find quickly (MCN)

SV - 118bhp - 189kg
675 - 126bhp - 162kg

So the 675 is lighter with more power (even allowing for the stats to be slightly wrong/inconsistent)

My gut would have expected the 675 to be faster in most situations, except top gear roll-on type. Figures kinda back that up

Dont know, but that doesnt seem right, unless its been seriously geared down I would have thought it would do better than that, the K6 600 loaner I had definately did more than 60mph in 2nd gear...

saying that ive not been near my redline, prob 11k ish max?

only one way to settle this...who's got an SV thou and who's got a 675, and where do you both live?!


(ps i'm not getting involved with my 750 - fizz can take care of that if required!!!)
