This.

Not everyone wants to be a trackday god, and the SV was plenty quick enough for me, the only problem was the shit front end and at that time I had a few physical issues that made it uncomfortable. The R7 ticks a load of boxes for a nice wee yoke for a Sunday afternoon ride.

Good review. Those 60th anniversary colours, wibble 8-) sounds too uncomfortable for me but would be fun on track.
