Straight up....even a 2hp gain is noticable. There is also center of gravity/riding position that will change the attitude of the bike. There are a few variables that really change the ride like gearing.

Also this guy weighs 140 pounds, with an extra 25 hp I'm pretty sure the bike will flip out from under him as soon as he opens the throttle.

And be on his tippytoes at stoplights...too much to start on. Unless he has the "fear/respect"...he will be a statistic.

If you look at the chart you'll realize that the SV is only about 2 seconds slower in the quarter mile then the ZX-6R for example. I realize that 20hp is definately a difference. I felt it when i rode my buddies SV.
