True but it'll be more lazy, i.e. it'll have more torque lower down so it'll feel alot closer to your SV to ride. Especially if you are lazy and like to leave it in 5th or 6th rather than buzzing through the gear box.

Aye but tbh whats the point in going from a SVthou with lots of low down torque which doesnt require much gear changing to a IL4 that rides the same...

If I was to go for a complete change of bike... away from the V-twin id probably go for a 600. The performance is more accessable for the road as the gearing isnt sky high.

Guess its all down to peronal taste aye.

Aye but tuano's hold their value VERY well. A jap bike loses is more as there are soooo many.

Ok, I'm gonna have to toss the Daytona 675 into the mix! Obviously biased but, if a sportsbike with awesome handling, great looks and a nice balance between low down torque and top end power is what your after, then it's worth considering.

+1... if you must increase Cylinders then go triple and British!

build quality scares me TBH, i seen untidy 07 examples, but yea very nice bike and one of the best looking.
