SV airtime.
Jumping the SV during Scottish Trials at the local BMW rally. Rear wheel came off the ground a couple feet. Landed great.

Re: SV airtime.
You're at the peak of the hill and your front end is much much higher than the apex of the vertices. That's a wheelie, not a jump.
Nice grab though.

The SV jumps really front heavy. You'll want to wind it out in the air as the weight of the engine pulls the front wheel down quick. Quote:
