This is a bike to really enjoy, Nimble, Eager, Gutsy & Loveable. The standard can limits mid & top-end performance & sounds like a flatulent frog = Junked it for an appreciable improvement(Blue-flame fitted) The riding position for passenger is the pits, I removed P/seat, P/Footrests,& G/Rail saved lbs in useless dead-weight (fitted seat cowl).The `lizard skin covering on the R/seat is slippery as hell (I bonded a part sheet of luggage grip over it) now bum stays put whilst riding hard. This machine promotes enourmous confidence in all departments & on the Devon `twisties`is easily quicker than my two larger machines. You cant buy a better `middy` sports bike, providing you`re prepared to spend a little time & cash to sort the minor bugs. SV650S = Bring it On! But Fun or What !
