Naah, Cylinder on the SV is quite a bit forward and has pretty good insulation from the tank. On the other hand, the frame is pretty snug to the engine so freshly seared legs are guaranteed.
In naked form, it's perfect around London. In faired form, not so much.Rented an Aprilla Shiver 750 last week. Not bad, but a bit forgettable.

I think someone mentioned it a page or so back but TLs (and I suspect the SV) are positively painful in London. The rear cylinder is literally an inch and a half of foam away from your nutsack. They're also quite tall bikes, I used to stand on tippy toes at traffic lights to get a bit of ventilation.
Absolutely love the things otherwise. I could set off every car alarm on Lots Road with the Remus cans on my TL on the way into work in the morning. Crack. Of. Doom.
