Don't agree they are both donkeys tbh, I suppose it just depends what you are looking for in a bike but if he finds the Kawasaki boring then the sv is just as ponderous a machine.

I've never ridden a deaville but have heard about them, if a bike is compared to it I'd be staying away.

You one of these straight line speed lads, with chicken strips my nan would be ashamed of?

I'd have plenty of fun on either bike riding tight twisties, once I had a good set of tyres.

I agree, I've have great fun on both over the years. I was starting to think that my idea of boring might cause me to die of excitement if I get another bike.

I think cornering is the most fun part of having a bike. Going fast in a straight line loses its thrill fast Anyone can buy a superbike and twist the throttle.

Cornering is a skill you can spend a lifetime improving.

Try learn to wheelie then get back to me about corners

Nothing like getting her up on the balance point & the feeling of weightlessness, or even just power wheelies where you're taking her just a few wheel off the ground for twenty meters.

Oh, and fast straights ~ acceleration & speed never get boring.

No mate Im not, why?
Because I think they are slow bikes which they are

Also dont get the chicken strip argument, takes more balls to ride a a bike 180mph on a straight line then lean her over at 30.

Sensation of speed is much higher when leaned over than going in a straight line.

You can only use so much power in the twisties. Corners are the great equaliser.
