Hello,
I currently own a 2007 SV650 and have owned (a long time ago) a CBR600F3.
The SV650 is just too slow. It has great low end torque, but just falls flat at over 60 mph... very disappointing.
I have never ridden a liter bike and am kind of apprehensive of the power. I remember the CBR being almost scary fast and am wondering if the FZ1 would be too much. By too much, I mean I don't want to accidentally flip the bike if my hand slips or something.
I guess I'm asking how easy it is to ride the FZ1. The SV650 is so easy, you can practically being sleeping. I can even floor it in 1st gear and not have to worry.
Also, I know they updated the fuel mapping for the 2010 model... can this upgrade be applied to the 2008 model?
Thanks!
