True, but most bikes today will slap the sv1000. I have one, and on technical rides it's quick. But modern bikes have come such a long way that they smash the sv1k.
Sv1000 is relaxed. Can keep it in a small range of gears in Twisties. Focus more on cornering and getting on early out the corners. Loads of torque power range much bigger across gears and speed of travel.
@@RubberChickenMan007it's true but it's not a supersport. On Twisties the sv can keep up with little effort from the rider. It's horses for courses. My taste is big engine with big torque but not heavy. The sv1000 is my dream bike as long as the bar risers are in play...
