WANTED - SV1000s

[marc34]

Hi all,

I am after an SV1000s, 2003 or newer, less than 20,000km's on the clock for under $10,000....

Anyone looking to sell or know of any good deals out there??

Thanks

Ideally you want an 05 onwards, as they came with a myriad of little changes.

There's plenty of good buys out there. Get an '06 or '07. I just bought an '07 with 5k on the clock for 10.5k, in the colour and with the pipes I wanted.

Id like an 05 onwards but theres this woman at home, shes there every day, and she keeps telling me I've "got to stay under $10,000"!!

Any 05's out there for under that I'd jump at for sure

[imdying]

They're common as much and only $12500 new, I'd be surprised if you couldn't find one

Yea your right, I will keep my eyes peeled, just need to be patient maybe, something I'm not that good at, i've been without a bike for almost a year now, I've finally got $$$$ and nothing to buy!!!!! hugely disappointing....

What is better about the 05 onwards model??? Just the fact that its newer technology or did they make some significant improvements worthy of convincing my wife its worth spending a few more dollars??

Ahhh, apparently '200' changes. The ECU is upgraded, the throttle bodies are bigger, the flywheel is lighter. A few more horsepower, but nothing to get excited about... might as well have them if they're on offer though.

cool, 200 changes, that will be my angle of attack to increase funding!

Thanks for the advice

If you are increasing your funding you may as well just get a new one

this ones been on trademe for a while. Perhaps an offer not far from the $10k mark would secure?

ooo you so dont fit in around here LOL - but no argument from me

... but what he said - yes! wait till end of year when next year's model is released, this years new bikes drop in price and the '06 model will also drop slightly.

Yea I have thought that, it seems so close yet so far away though, i worked my way up from $8k max, to 9 then onto $10k, i think she (wife) is starting to catch on to my game though!!

I have looked at this one, like it a lot, I have spoken to the guy, reckons he has bought a new bike so is prob quite keen to sell, will cost me $350 to get it to Welly so that pushes it up a bit.... $10k might be worth a cheeky offer though

Good point, probably the way to go

I don't consider 10K to be a cheeky offer on a bike that has "$10,700 or near offer" on it. Shit if I was selling something for 10,700 I snap 10k up if someone held the readies under my nose!!

Secondly have you tried/ridden an SV and its counterpart the VTR back to back. I don't want to bring a whole lot of angry SV owners down on me, but my mate has an 06 SV and I felt as if you sit "on it" rather than sit "in it" like when I was on my VTR. He quite liked the riding position on the VTR as well. He said it felt a bit more sport! The power felt a bit milder as well but his was completly Standard.
Just a few thoughts, no biggie, the above is personal preference only.

maybe $9000 is more "cheeky"???

Ive had a short ride on a SV, looking to have a longer ride in the next couple of weeks hopefully, haven't ridden a VTR, ive read a few forums on them being compared and it seems to be 50/50 (fair comment??), i just seem to be more drawn to the SV

Buy my traded 06 for $11K

It is in excellent condition and properly run in. I bit more than you wanted to pay but for a 13 month old bike with 10k.
