33bhp isn't half bad on the SV, you get the grunt just no top end, not near as painfully horrible as a 33bhp inline 4.

The other major advantage of the SV is, if anything goes wrong with it, theres lots of people know all the little nuances of the SV engine, the weak points etc. (on here especially). Where are you going to ask about a 400? When you do find somewhere, it won't be free either!
