Well I'm happy - at least I think I am, because I have never had a middleweight like this before. My idea is that this will be good on Highland roads where I found the America cumbersome. I had a Triumph Speed Triple before that and its suspension was really punishing on those roads. I see people hauling about on big BMWs and the like, and just thought it would be more fun on a lightweight machine. Well time will tell but for now all's good!
) had a slightly higher spec than the SV's before and after it in terms of some parts. Owning a lightweight bike myself I really like the ability to throw it around in the twisties and the inability to do really bonkers speeds. I some times hanker for something bigger, flasher, faster but come back from a 2 hour ride on local b-roads and find I've not done over 85mph so why bother. Enjoy
