Not quite... It's a detuned SV1000 engine, which is a slightly retuned TL1000 engine, which has MANY different parts than the TL. The SV had more midrange torque and less overall HP. It makes the bike more streetable.

I have an SV1000 and I find that it's a BLAST to ride. VTwin grunt is awesome.

You may also want to look at setting your TPS. It can make a heck of a difference.

It doesn't rev super quick because it's a 1000cc twin. My redline is over ten and it DOES have a rev limiter.

The V-Strom's are a great all around bike. I just can't touch the ground when sitting on one. A 30" inseam doesn't work on one. :Sad:

You really need to look into setting your TB's and then setting the TPS. It makes it MUCH nicer from tick over on up.

cool bike! how is it in the corners?

 

[mattness]

in the corners it feels like it wants to slide out from under you, probably because the rear wheel is 4 feet away from you.... lol... once i get used to it im sure it wont be a problem though. did a few wheelies today, they arent violent like on the vmax just nice and smooth it comes up easy.

rode it all the way around my property today, its not a dirtbike but its still fun. it gets scary when you get in a rut or get to a spot where you cant touch the ground
