It gets a bit hot plonking around town in the summer, but none the less it's a very civilised bike in an urban setting. The power it has in low revs gives it the ability to move quickly when asked, and it's also narrow, leans well, and has good brakes. The only criticism is wrist pain with the oem clip on bars. I had mine raised, but this isn't the cheapest mod. Mileage is reasonable if you don't race between lights. Still, the engine is a work of art. I've tried all the latest 4s, but even though they have more power at higher revs, the riding experience does not compete. The SV is a great bike. Get a good one with the stator magnets done, and if possible with the clutch chudder mod.

@@warrenhalpin Thank you. That's most informative and good to hear inview of the fact that I'd contemplated raised, straight bars and no fairing.

Hi, still stock. Just had a stiffer spring installed on the rear and suspension set with a local race mechanic

You're doing something wrong then: "Pure Sex." Hmm.

That's the rev counter, it's moving down as he's going up in the gears which makes it so the engine speed can spin slower but maintain the same speed or in his case achieve a higher one

No very difficult. If you have a good exhaust shop / Mechanic who can measure, bend and weld the pipes you're good to go. Very low cost exercise. In the region of USD 120 in total.

oh haha sorry i meant the quick shifter! i have a k7 sv1k that i want to have a quick shifter on, what brand did you go with?

@@drkstr7healtech stand-alone ftw…

Hi, with the help of racing Buddy of mine. Modified a BM RR slip on and rebuild the entire exhaust from Both headers.
