Well, Ive ridden it for about 15 miles now and my initial thoughts are:

1. I don't like the exhaust. It sounds like one of those aprillia 125's, all tinny and squealy.
2. You have to get it above 5000 rpm before it wants to do anything. I don't like the fact that theres a big power differential between 4 and 6k rpm - there isn't such a smooth transition as with the SV.
3. It looks like a CG125.
4. The sidestand is REALLY difficult to get to.

Other than that, its a great bike... The riding position is a bit different (I'm used to being - wait for it - bent further over).

All in all, I can't wait for my SV to come home.
