Whats it like in real-world terms against the SV1000 kwak? I am sure you have had many "spirited" rides through the twisties and the odd bit of fast A road etc...

the sv1000s pastes the buell on the long straights! but on the twistys the buell rocks! the buell with my mate on board can't loose me in everyday riding but like i say on the straights the sv1000s pulls stronger over the ton.

Just watch for the Rev Limiter on the Buells, it's like being punched in the nads when it kicks in. Harsh is not the word!!!! Great looking and sounding bikes and you'll soon learn not to hit that limiter Enjoy.
