Not saying you did anything wrong - he was finding the tiniest fraction of a better line allowing him to throttle out sooner... Probably a function of him riding a lighter bike than that GS1K - you had a helluva lot more mass to throw around... I'd be interested to see you follow that guy while riding another SV - my money is on you keeping up.

Great bikes, those SV's. There's a reason I've owned mine for 10 years

And they hold their value. I found a pretty blue 2001 on CL for $3K: http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/3775389463.html
