I too have +1 on SV & 250. Don't like screaming it to cruise. My old Guzzi Sport would do almost 50 in first, only 3k & 60mpg @ 60mph, but didn't like 3rd below 40. It would out top end SOHC 750s but only 14+ 1/4 mile. I remember reading about the factories gearing US market bikes lower for acceleration & maybe 55 speed in 80s.
