Allowing the 748 in the series imo is not good. Anyway losing 15kg off me still has no bearing on the fact that the 748 will easily hit the power:weight ratio whereas other bikes won't. Can you seriously see how an SV650 is gonna compete with an R that has been weighed up to the limit? The SV's at best give 85bhp in 700-750cc form before reliability goes out of the window. They weigh about 360-370lbs and can't hit the power:weight ratio without serious money being spent on them.
