Here, here. I find it easier, no chugging!

But chugging's what makes a v-twin fun! And just think about all those IL4s you can beat away from the lights (truly) .

You think ?? Put "decent" IL4 60 and an SV together from the lights, you "may" get ahead for about 30ft or so.... Then you can wave goodbye as the IL4 lays down the power.

It's about application, not statistics....

Bit harsh, mate.........even I know the SV650 is a bit faster than a moped

Oh dear, this conversation again Jelster's still right. Though it's easier to take off fast on an SV, and up to 60 there's not an awful lot of difference (something under half a second difference between a GSXR600 and SV650 to 60 if memory serves, when both are ridden right.

Here we go round the roundabout AGAIN.

inline 4 better blah blah, v-twin better at the lights blah blah.

little sv a learner bike blah blah

One day you will "grow up" and get a real bike blah blah.

nice one, good choice
