The op must weigh similar to a bag of sugar, cos my sv wouldnt even hint at lifting the front wheel
![]() You would have to be light i think for the sv to wheelie off the throttle, even my sprint wont albeit the front goes lighter. |

Still got over a year on the 33BHP, so wish I could have afforded to go the DAS route.
However, 33BHP is still enough to scare me. Riding home from work training in Chippenham yesterday, back wheel span on on a slimy road pulling onto a roundabout. My back wheel went sideways and my bottom tried to bite a chunk out of the seat! My 400cc XJ is a fun little bike, unrestricted it produces 31BHP (we have a Dyno test to prove it for the insurance) which sounds like it should be slow. However, it pulls like a train from sixty to eighty, snapping my head back with the acceleration and will keep going to about a tonne. I had not ridden a IL4 before this and am quite interested in what the SV will feel like once it has the love blobs set free. That feeling of going whoosh on the 30 year old XJ is going to be even better on the seven year old unrestricted SV. Only another sixteen months to go... ![]() |

By the time my restriction comes off, it will be early summer 2012, just in time to enjoy the dry roads. Until then, I have another summer of gentle over taking to look forwards to. ![]() |

I'm always amused by suggestions that 33 or less suddenly makes a bike dangerous.
Problem certainly aint the bike but sounds like some folks have quite bad observational/decision making skills on a bike. Doubt 60bhp(or what it is the full power SV650 makes) on it's own, would make some of those who complain the most, better,safer or even faster rider. Yup, I'm owned bikes from 11bhp onwards. Never felt they were dangerous but that is not to say, there's never been a situation when I'd thought "hmm, would have been nice to have a bit more , right now" . Oh and yesterday, I rode an SV650 and you know what, I would have been faster on my 125....but that's another story ![]() Bigmofo bikes...ridden by those who can't make ickle ones go fast ![]()

You can still lose grip even with 33 if you are hamfisted

Going from 70bhp to 33bhp takes some getting used too, the dangerous part is the few rides transition. Im back in 33bhp power mode now and I prefer it in this weather, not slipped once since. |
