I just ordered an Ohlins for my CBR Track Bike... I was looking at Scotts, GPR and Hyperpro, but each one had mixed reviews. The classic Ohlins was the only one of those that didn't have a severely negative review (side-mounted ones were mixed mainly because they aren't low-side friendly).
I should have it in a week or so

Ohlins is the gold standard.
The newer Hyperpro dampers are decent though.

scott's blow.
Hyperpro RSC.
I got it used off of R6-forum last year at a good price, and wanted one before I hit the track.
Not my choice of color, but I painted both brackets black, and pulled the stickers off of the damper.
TMP is pretty bumpy, and there's been a few times where I was glad I had a damper. I've got it set 8 clicks out from zero. (22 adjustment positions available). Still get slight headshake sometimes with the damper @ 8, but no loss of feel or control. And most importantly the damper stops the shake from getting away from you. Invisible until you need it.
EDIT: Checked last TD and I have it set to 8 clicks out from nill.

HyperPro RSC on my SV650S. Not sure how much it matters on the SV. I like it because of the mount stability and smooth action. I had an Öhlins on my old track bike and the mount was such that the damper would bounce up and down all the time, and the damper itself had a non-smooth action. Almost felt like it had air inside. It worked well, but just didn't seem as good as it should be for Öhlins.
