http://forums.sv650.org/images/icons/icon1.gif FOR SALE: 2000 Candy Blue (very low mileage) Reduced to £1400.00
I am emigrating and can't afford to take my bike with me. What a bummer! Need a quick sale.
It's a 2000 curvy with brand new Suzuki lower fairings fitted only 3 months ago. It has only done 6,980 dry miles since new, 10 months MOT and 2 months tax, Alphadot Security, full service history, rear hugger, had a new back tyre Metzler Z4 fitted on it's last service, is in wonderful condition with only small amount of work needed on the front lower forks to bring this bike to showroom condition. It has always been garaged. There is a brand new scotoiler which I will gift to the person who buys this bike (never had time to fit it). I am 59 and moving abroad with my wife to be with my daughter's family in Spain. I have hardly used the bike since I bought it earlier this year and there are no problems with this bike whatsoever. It's a bargain at £1,400. I can be contacted on 0781 501 9264. Manchester area. No time wasters please.

Hi erics02

The bike has had 2 owners before me, there is no damage, it has Alpha Dot security, it has been serviced some receipts included and is HP free. The first owner worked abroad a lot and the bike was garaged all the time, the next owner had it about 12 months and I have had the bike about 7 months or so. It really is a lovely bike and in superb condition. I could ride the bike over to your son's place as long as the petrol was covered. I then have to get myself back home. Let me know what you decide.

Cheers

all bikes would be lovely if we left them in the showrooms - this bike desperately needs another 20k on it.

I am lucky cos I ride S o F in the Corbiere mountains - just 10 miles away - and down to the Spanish border - retired and concentrating on piling on the miles.

This morning with Tramontane wind blowing 30 / 40 from NW and at 1/2 degrees C nice route thru the twisties and back home to find out how Ian had got on with Peter for thye bike transfer.

He said Peter was very quiet on the way back home to Sale - pretty sad at seeing the back of the SV.

I know Ian is over the top with the bike and it will get the TLC it deserves.

You guys should get down here in the summer - it is bloody magic - and I can sort out a bit of yachting down at Roses if that appeals.

sounds gooood!! where are the Corbiere mountains in relation to the alps?

The Corbieres run from the Atlantic to the Med separating France from Spain. The Alps are S E straddling France / Italy/Switz.

It would have been more correct if I had said the Corbieres are part of the Pyrenees and the Corbieres are at the easterm Med part of that mountain range.

Roses is a Spanish resort just over the Spanish / French border to the south of Perpignan. My friend has a ketch which he crews for holiday makers in Roses and will from next summer be doing split holidays with peoplle doing maybe - part yachting, walking, cycloing biling etc.

He would welcome people to the yacht for 1 week and includes tuition, grub, booze etc. This combined with some bike riding in the mountains could be OK for some peoplke.

Rare to find combination hol with say mbiking/yachting

Had a great family holiday based in Argeles a few years back. I'd really like to return on a bike. Any of you who can get the time and money together, it would be fantastic mountains twisties and a very nice coastline - Argeles is just inside France, but the Spanish side of the border is even better.
