I love the power that I get from my ride. It's nice as hell up here in these Mtn's not to have to shift, shift, shift all the time jsut to go from hill to hill. With that said...........the SV would be high on my list for a different bike to have. They have some wicked good bottom end tourqe but I would still like to have an RC baby!! Hell, if I could have found one when I was looking (that was in good enough shape) I would have had a V65 Magna to make into a Jap Bobber.
