Totally agree, but that's why I enjoyed the SV so much when it did run. I didn't have to be near redline all the time to have fun. The hornet danced and danced well, but it screamed when it was doing that. @skinny Like fuck any bike I get now will! Garage/Anchor/double chain/disc lock/alarm. Possible upgrade to sleep gas/retina burning laser/nail gun to the knees.
See I thought the hornet pulled from quite well through the range and sounded great when it got to higher revs. Tough one. Maybe you should get a cb1300? They redline around 8500 apparently - loads of grunt. Look good too.
Love how they look. One cruised past me down Regents the other day. Cruised is an understatement, it glided past.
It's also 250kg odd with no fuel. I'm 70kg in full gear...
Couple more test rides tomorrow, then decision time.
