I've had both of those bikes plus I raced an r6 many moons ago and I'd say the sv will keep up better with the IL 4's your mates have, that's mainly because the sv is a v twin and the power is more accessible I.E. You don't have to rev it hard to make it move like you do on the zxr. That being said I'd rather be riding the 400. I'm not bothered about going fast on a bike on the road,I just love the way the 400's handle and are so flickable. Although the sv is still more than capable and is almost as good for playing on and just as good for knee down

Depends on the type of roads you ride.
In North Wales I left a GSXR600, Blandit 6, VFR800 and ZX6R for dust.
I was on my zxr400 L1, riding 2up with a popped fork seal pissing fluid all over the front brake.
I arrived in Porthmadog 1st, then the other 2 arrived about 20mins later. Got bored of waiting for the Blandit and ZX6R so went for a burger.

Shame there is no harley in that pic, you could use it on their forum, grinder I believe it's called.
Most important question here is were you trying to look cool as f*** CaNsA or does it come naturally???
