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. |
