There are advantages to ram air above and beyond the ram air 'turbo' effect (which only comes into effect at silly speeds that the SV will never reach).

Main one is feeding cold clean air from the front of the bike rather than warm air that has already passed through the rad or over the engine. You don't need a sealed ram airbox for that though, just need some ducting and a shield to separate the airflows.

That said the SV has some wopping great holes in the frame, big gaps either side of the tank and the airbox intake is on the top so I'm not sure even how much 'dirty'/'warm' air reaches it in the first place.
