Should be more chuckable than an SV, SV has steering geometry of a h*rl*y as standard

rictus01 · 31-01-10, 12:52 PM

the SRAD was a very capable handling bike, setup right it's awesome, requires a bit more work than some of todays models, but will do the job, the rear shock had a sort of soft squat bit at the limit of travel, which held the bike when getting on the power out of a corner, which once you'd learnt it was very useful, unfortunately most of those around now have been made so hard (as in the harder it is the better), IMHO it doesn't work as well, but either way it'll murder an SV in the corners, I prefer the 96-97 carbed version, but the FI later ones were pretty good to.

Cheers Mark.

We saw, just wasn't funny

I'd rather you thought it wasnt funny. Than thought I actually thought I was a little fan boy who honestly thought the SV was faster and more chuckable than the srad.

He can chuck just about any bike...
