    I would be lying if i say, yes i need more power. I still didn't use the full out of it.. But the only thing bothers me is the look of it. It looks naked.. If there is huge difference between SV650 and inline 4s (600ccs) then i think i should reconsider my option. But ultimately SV650 has got more power on it, and i should agree that..

    I've always said having fun and a good ride is more important than what it looks like, after all when you're riding, you don't look at your bike. (and if you're trying to pull chicks they generally just see a motorbike and most I know would have no idea between a ducati and a kawasaki).

    But its not just about that.. I never thought of chicks while choosing my ride.. If it was tat i could get a r125 and change the graphics like r6 .. I want a beautiful ride that suits me and never let me down

    You can get lower fairing sections for the SV650. Some of them already have it.

    Example.

    there is a huge difference in power between an sv650 and an il4 600.

    I like this thread.

    Get a TL1000S, an early one with a standard rear shock. It'll keep you amused, trust me.
