Yeah he has a point I guess, but he was trying to pull big lazy overtakes on mine like he does on his and granted for that the SV is better. Mine is one of the old style thundercat engined bikes and for me personally the engine overall is more versatile than the SV engine as the alleged loss of ultimate torque is a lot less noticable than the cliff of wheeze his bike hits when revving hard out of its power band. Personally mine pulls very nicely from 2500 rpm and often on my general riding to college and work or whatever I am not really doing much over 4k rpm and it is as smooth and powerful as I like at that sort of speed.
