This bike is excellent mechnically, no problems at all. Under warranty until June 07 (have invoices from services so that it is still valid). New reg & wof for 1 year next week. Micron can fitted by previous owner. I have owned this bike since 4444km. Serviced as per schedule, next one is 12000km.

There are minor scrapes on the left side from me losing my balance when having to stop suddenly and falling over. Fortunantly I was under the bike so damage was limited to minor scrapes. It has also had a repair & repaint on the tail section after it fell onto some steps (only cracked the tail section). It was a very good repair & repaint, so you cant see that there was any damage.

I have had ventura headlight protectors and a pro-grip tank pad fitted.

Always garaged. I rode it how it was intended to be ridden, however it has only ever seen redline once or twice. Metzeler racetec K1 on the back & K0 on the front with plenty of tred - these tyres are brilliant.

Selling because I have been bitten by the V-twin bug and am now looking for a TLR.

No tyre-kickers or time wasters. Proof of funds required before a test ride.

I can be contacted on my cell at anytime.

Please note that the pics I have provided are from when I brought the bike. I will try to get some up-to-date pics sorted.

$12,000 ono

Oh spiffing! So you'll be able to wait a year for me to get the money, yuss!

**Jase W** · 30th July 2006, 17:41

Haha well I hope to sell it before then. But if I still have it, then sure!

btw, love you're sig. Askaninja is the funniest shit ever.

I would be interested, but not at 12k.I have seen a few up here go for around the 10k mark, and they are pretty tidy too. But still, respect that you don't want to sell it for less than it is worth to you, so i will watch with interest!

**Jase W** · 31st July 2006, 20:40

If you like you can pm me and we can discuss it further, what its worth to you etc. Like I said i'm in no hurry to sell, but I am open to discussion.

Update: New price $11k ono, will be serviced before selling (is sitting around the 12000km mark at the mo, so will have that done soon. In the meantime its in the garage all lonely because i dont have time to ride it)

**Jase W** · 10th September 2006, 11:02

Bump. $11,000 ono is still the price. Going in for 12k service on wed.

I've been offered an 04 Sv1000 with 15,000 on the clock & aftermarket factory pipes plus $1500 for my bike. It sounds like a good deal to me, what do you guys think?

**skelstar** · 17th September 2006, 11:45

Is the 2005/6 SV1000S still selling for $12500?...Im guessing good AM pipes will be $1200-$1500...but 15,000kms arent too many.

So it depends on how it was run in and what servicing costs youve fortunately missed out on?

Sounds fair, it's not so good a deal that I'd be tripping over myself... But if you really wanted an SV, it'd be fair. I reckon my 97 ZX6R was a better bike than my K6 SV, just so you know... I'd be doing a nice long test ride if I was you.... you wanna swap an 06 SV with 4000kms, carbon fibre microns, and sorted fuel injection?

Haha that sounds like a trade thats more like me... the only problem im having is deciding whether I should sell the 6r and get a cheaper bike in order to clear a large chunk out of debt or to go to a nice big twin (such as a TL or SV). Selling the bike and downgrading is the more sensible option (espcially as I have just purchased a rolling body project car), but im never sensible when it comes to these sorts of things.

Are you serious about the swap though?

**imdying** · 18th September 2006, 18:22

Naw mate... I'll buy another 6r at some stage, but I doubt I'll sell the SV to do it. The only thing better than one bike in the shed, is two... or three, or.. you get the idea

As much as anything, the point of my post was 'make sure you get some decent seat time on a twin before you swap the four for one'.
