I go out with Nelly every now and again, and i'll second everythin shes said..Its a great bike, really good handling and the torque gives it a real kick outta the corners.

The insurance is why the SV caught my eye..I was abit concered about gettin a V-twin but once you get the hang of them there top..Soo much torque.

you wont have trouble gettin insured though will ya livin down there?

Insurance is pretty high for me with my post code..I always thought your insurance would be miles cheeper than mine could ever be.

A V twin is 2 cyclinders oposite each other, mine are at a 45 degree angle but some are 90 degree. An inline 4 are 4 cyclinders all in a row.

Vtwins have more toruque but inline has more power at higher revs..

Korns bein a V4 has 2 cyclinders oposite each other, best of both worlds.

Not quite true. Torque is affected by the length of the stroke (ie, the longer the stroke the greater the leaverage on the crank as the piston goes down), and a 2 cylinder engine of the same capacity as a 4 will have a longer stroke and a larger bore.

However, power is torque x rpm, and a longer stroke engine cannot rev as high so is not going to make enough extra torque to compensate for the lower revs to give higher power.

The engine configuration has no effect of the torque characteristics of an engine. It does affect the firing order, which makes it feel different, and it also affects whether the engine needs a balance shaft to feel smooth. A 90 degree V twin is perfectly balanced, when running on a single crank pin. To smooth out different angle V twins you can run 2 crank pins, one for each con rod / cylinder but that means you land up with a wider engine, which looses one advantage of a V twin. You can also run a balance shaft but that will absorb power (but if the lack of vibration means you can lighten the engine alot without it shaking to bits, you may well gain that power back)

All thebest
