Yes, very nice bikes IMO.
Little bit lumpy at low speeds standard, but a power commander smooths them right out (I've ridden with both std and cans and commander)
Nice and grunty and loud as hell with some race cans. Feel quite solid on the road and quite confidence inspiring.

Testing the future
i had a firestorm for a while that was much tamer but i loved it. the sp1 was the homologation special of that for superbikes. unless you ride flat out everywhere or only on a racetrack, many people say that it's too focussed and uncomfortable. but it's all personal taste i suppose. i would advise looking into a firestorm as well though, as they are cheaper.

my mates just bought a firestorm and absolutely loves it, gotta admit I love the thumpy sound of the V-twin lumps with a set of akrapovics
I prefer the SP-2 to the SP-1 but if you like it mate buy it

Firestorm doesn't compare to the SP1/2.
SP1/2's are cracking bikes, revs like a IL4. As said power commander sorts the snatchy fuelling and a touch more ride height quickens the steering nicely.
Ridden a few and they are excellent bikes. Hold their money well too as they weren't a big seller new.
