SV650 K6 on a 07 plate

I purchased the bike in July and have been using it every day on my commute into London (30 mile round trip)

I am looking to get a different bike soon so I thought I would test the water and see if there is any interest.

£3400 is this realistic? Dealer PX offers seem to be about 3k
(Outstanding finance will be paid prior to sale but not until I have seen if it is viable to sell)

There is a scratch on the right hand lower fairing where a scooter rider decided to park on top of it!! (See Pic)

Location Romford, Essex

Just serviced at 4500

Mileage: 5200

Extra’s fitted
Pyramid Hugger
Scott Oiler
Mirror Extenders
Iridium Screen
After Market exhaust (with removable baffle, and original if required)
Data-tool 4 Alarm (dealer fitted with certificate)

Please PM me if you require any further information.

In a weeks time, brand new K7's on 08 plates will be available.

I would take the ?3k trade in tbh - you may get ?3200 for it private, but I would think it would take a while to find the right buyer

[SV Muppet]

I agree with the last comment. I think the problem for you is the great deals that are available now.

I have the same bike, a K6 Sport also bought in July, which I got for ?4099 on an 07 plate. It's unmarked and only just over 2k miles but I think it would struggle to fetch over ?3k private now simply because of the deals available.

See no i dont understand this, a couple of days ago someone was trying to sell a K5 with 27k on the clock and people were telling him not to go any lower that £2500 and to try and get £3k :confused:

This quite a lot of money to lose of a new bike as well! Does make me think how much mine is worth is worth now. I have no plans of selling mine until the fianace is paid is, so I will have for probally 4 years I didn't pay full price for it either. Oh well its a good bike and will last a long time, slight derail I know but I wouldn't have it would dropped that qucikly in price!

[SoulKiss]

Price drops by 17.5% the moment it goes on the road due to the VAT

That makes a new 4k bike worth ?3300.

The good thing about SV's is they hold value - only really this year that decent curvies have dropped to less than ?1500-?2000 pounds.

Makes valuing them hard

And remember - very low mileage can often be worse than high mileage.

And remember - very low mileage can often be worse than high mileage.

Why's that?

[ASM-Forever]

Why's that?

I don't want to drag this thread off topic, but in a nutshell, he's saying thats it better a bike is used, as opposed to being left for long periods of time. These bikes often develop all sorts of little nigles.

[John 675]

i hate when dealers do that.. however i dont give a crap what mines worth because i decided when i bought it that im never going to sell it, my first bike will be maintained and fixed ect untill the day i have to replace the engine.. and starts all over again :D

No one in their right mind would pay that, I would rather pay the extra £999 and get a brand new one.

I bought an K3 on an 04 plate in Feb 06 and paid £2800. It included a double bouble screen, alpha-dot, Suzuki rear hugger and a Datatool System 3 alarm and it only had 5000 miles on the clock.

I buy MCN every week and laugh at the classifieds when I see someone still trying to get close to £3000 or more for a K3 or a high mileage K4.

There has been a 55 plate in MCN private ad for the past couple of weeks for £3495! Thats never going to sell. Its just life that a lot of people over value there house, car, bike etc.

[DoubleD]

I was offered £2,400 for my K4 on a 05 plate that is Kwak clean.

your correct newbie.. people tend to add a sentimental cost of up to about 10% reports suggest, where as book price and sentimental are polar
