I am advertising my bike as a complete unit, however as standard.
The pictures below show the bike with R&Gs, hugger, tail tidy & the aftermarket exhaust. These are to be removed from the bike prior to sale and the original items will be re-fitted. The seats are not shown on the pictures however there are 2 as new seats with it (Used a gel seat & cowl for the majority of ownership).
Damage
The bike collided head on with a tree therefore there is damage to the front end. It appears that most of the impact has been taken through the forks up to the lower yoke however, I can make no guarantees for the frame as I have not had it checked. The front tyre is still inflated but there is damage to the brake discs and the front spindle is protruding from the right fork. One of the brake calipers looks to be bent on the hanging bracket but the other looks ok.
There is damage to the tank and radiator (as can be seen in the pictures) The tank damage is down to me pushing into the tank on impact.
The bike has no damage to the side or rear. None of the pegs are bent, none of the rear panels damaged. You can see from the R&Gs that even they didnt get damaged (The bike fell over onto grass following impact).
There are upgraded replacement parts which will be sold which are:
HEL Braided brake lines
HH Brake pads
Renthal sprocket & Chain set
If salvageable from the forks, a set of Maxton linear springs (£75 which have done only 25 miles)
The tyres are Continental RA's and have plenty of tread life left. I cannot say whether or not the front is to be reused, although it is still inflated.
I have both sets of original indicators, original exhaust, plate hanger, chain guard etc to go back on the bike.
The engine cutout on impact immediately but I can confirm that with the turn of a key, the fuel pump starts normally and then with a flick of the switch the bike fires into life first time. I turned it off straight away as the radiator is damaged.
History
I have owned the bike since Feb 2005, being the 2nd owner. I have a lot of history for the bike, MOTs, receipts for parts etc and have a wordfile documenting all the work done to the bike in terms of servicing, which I have completed myself. The bike had a service at the turn of the year with valve clearances checked amongst general servicing. If anyone is seriously interested, I can provide the wordfile showing what was done to the bike and when. The bike service history has the first service and the 4k service done at 2800 miles (prior to me taking ownership). The mileage is 14268 as seen in the pictures below. There is an MOT until Feb 09. Bike is SORN'D at present.
From those that have seen the bike in the flesh prior to the accident know that I have been a proud owner and always liked a clean machine. Not quite Kwak OCD clean but certainly this bike has turned heads as much as an SV could.
I have considered putting the bike back on the road myself however feel it would be best for me to draw a line under the whole thing. I also have a wrist injury which makes me unable to ride a bike with clip ons at the moment so I would have to sell it on anyway.
Finally, the bike was TPFT covered therefore it has not been registered with the insurance co as damaged, therefore it is not recorded as a write off.
The sum of its parts would easily clear £1200 so I am asking £800 for the bike as it stands.

If the bike fails to sell complete, then I will consider breaking it for parts. If anyone wishes for any further pictures of any part in detail, then I will provide it.
Price again for those who missed it or scrolled to the bottom:
£800
Edit: Bike is in Teesside (Near Middlesbrough)
