Re: MCN on the SV - article link.
Good read, shows that the bike is pretty handy despite being pretty long in the tooth these days.

Re: MCN on the SV - article link.
Good read.
Are fairings pretty essential for the track?

Re: MCN on the SV - article link.
Does the Sport come with a stiffer set of springs or are they telling porkies in that article about leaving the suspension alone?
The biggest weak point the SV has out of the box is the suspension. Ugh.

Re: MCN on the SV - article link.
I've read the Sport does come with slightly stiffer springs...or is that the 's' in general?

Re: MCN on the SV - article link.
My S came with vaguely boingy bits of twig at each end.

The fronts too stiff and the backs a bit soft now.
