The 06 SV1k was about .5 sec slower than the 98 TLR in the 1/4 mile(sportrider), which was a little down on HP, FWIW. The SV1K does weigh less though, so that could help with cornering.

I wouldn't mind either one parked in my driveway. I've ridden the SV1k and I prefer the 650 but that doesn't mean I wouldn't buy one if the price were right.

Those are good looking bikes, but I don't get why anyone would buy something with a sportbike-like riding position and a Ducati pricetag if it only has 75hp. Seems like those people should buy a Monster instead.

And the riding position is more relaxed and comfy than it looks. REALLY!
