This weekend I managed to get the SV back into riding form. I took it for a test ride today, and oh my, it's quite different. The word flickstick comes to mind. You flick it, and it sticks. It's fun! Turn in feels much faster, but not unstable overall. The new tires, Metzler Rennsports, would have given the bike a very different feel if no other change were made. In combination with the alien technology of the gixxer front end, well, I'm going to have to relearn how to ride this bike. I'll have a perfect opportunity in two weeks, when I have another track day at Reno-Fernley.
