We'll see how the new gixxer thou fares when it comes out, but as far as the SV vs the RSVR goes, I've ridden both and the SV is so out of its depth it isn't funny.
However, I'd consider both the SV and the RSVR for gargre honours, with the SV winning for daily ride, but I'm really not sure if I could consider the gixxer for that role.
So put me with the Italian fag boys then...
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

We can talk about fighting when you find me a worthy opponent...
Anyway, back on topic, maybe the RSVR is becoming popular because it's the sexiest damn twin currently on the market? The 999 is farkin ugly and Japanese are too low-end. It's no surprise why people are buying the Aprilia.
oh yeah, the 1098 is getting prettier, but doesn't have anything on the Ape.
Have you tried riding in the wet in a city full of metal manholes, drain covers and paint markings with 181 Horses at the rear wheel?
The switch is designed to let you ride safer in these situations.
And I thought the K6 with 154HP was brutal. That extra 30 HP on the 2007 model is bound to get a few people into trouble.
I don't think the K7 will be in need of any mods to annihilate the RSVR. Stock standard should be just fine.
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them

There are a couple of new Tuonos locally but these don't increase the number because both riders had RSVRs before.
Sensei's take on this would be interesting since he is qualified to comment intelligently on the topic having moved from the Gixxer to the 'prillia.
His Gixxer being one of the rare ones that was traded, not written off.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
