at 7k you get the biggest kick up the **** than any other motorcycle! surpose that why so many people were killing themselfs on it, my mates TL is the dog ******** the front wheel is airborne everywhere and in any gear.the sv1000 does have more bhp but it is delivered in a sissy kind of way,in every report ive read the sv650 is rated higher than the sv1000 (saying it lack's soul) what ever that means? i rode one and it seemed great to me.

You know the minor grievances that people had with the Honda Sp's could have easily been rectified. The biggest one was the tank range. But they are one fantastic bike and with a build quality as good as anything out there.
Superduke is cool and a wicked bike under the right rider. Why don't Suzuki up the ante a little? They have well over 90% of what people are looking for,just on occasion let down by quality questions?
The new SV1000 is wicked looking but even so I think they could have pushed the envelope just a little further. Or is it that Suzuki clients are always looking for the slightly cheaper alternative?

I reckon alfter the trouble they had with the TLS/R range Suzuki will tread carefully. The new SV thou has race rep type paint this year, maybe next year less show and more go.

One day a manufacturer will build the bike that will tick all my boxes, until then I'll stick with the bike I have.

I'd like for Kwak to have a crack at a proper banzai sports twin... If the alliance is still in force then a tuned-up SV thou motor in a really sporty chassis could be the business.

And I have to admit there's an SP1 in my dealer's that keeps on catching my eye with a cheeky wink and a bit of exposed engine cleavage. Probably useless for the riding I do but I want it. It's parked beside an RSV and it looks about a third the size.

What we really need is a Jap V-twin sports 750, to compete with the SS600's. Put a 750 SV based engine in a K4 GSXR 600/750 frame & running gear and they'd be going like hot cakes... 90 BHP with bags of torque and GSXR handling, it would be ace...

But what do we know, we're only the potential customer
