Some clarification...

Perhaps these #'s will help explain
SV650 ('04) Hp 73.5 @ 8750 Torque 47.1 @ 7250 1/4 mile 11.87 @ 110.0
0-60 @4.44 Wet Weight 429
Adventurer ('97) Hp 67.4 @ 8000 Torque 54.5 @ 5000 12.91 @ 101.9
Wet Weight 530
It isnt that the Suzuki makes that much more power but it weighs 100lbs less
In the end though its the rider that makes the difference.
Not to brag but this sunday I went to Ct. with a group of Beemer riders. 3 of them had R1200 ST's and were wicked fast. I was 4th behind them on my Legend
However...I was waaaayy ahead (and I'm talking MINUTES) of the '07 GSXR 600 and the MV Augusta F4 ( which was dyno'ed that day at 145 RWHP ) the kid w/the F4 had had it custom painted Orange and Silver (it looked gorgeous) but in the end your skill and nerve determine what "the bike" can really do...
