Calling all K3 candy burning copper owners!!!!

[Uu Mr.E uU]

as you can imagin, the k3 LE (Limited edition) colour scheme in my opinion is one of the best colours on a bike so far.
ever since i got mine ive always wondered how many there actually are left from 2003. so if you have one, please feel free to post a pic of it.

Here is my stunning machine in all its glory lol.:D

What about 'silver'? :)

[ophic]

but this one is the hadrest to replicate so dosend it make it super rare???
If by that you mean it was the least popular, then yes :p

[ophic]

What about 'silver'? :)
Show me a silver SV that isn't a K3.

[Shellywoozle]

I had a Vauxhall Tigra in that colour does that count?



I'll get me coat

[Dave20046]

Show me a silver SV that isn't a K3.

Seriously though, never noticed that - can't believe they dropped silver! It's such a common colour, can't see why they'd not carry it on

[ophic]

Forgot about curvies - you win :D

[Dave20046]

Forgot about curvies - you win :D
Better that way tbh :razz:
I never noticed that though about the k3 colours.

[DarrenSV650S]

The decals from the copper ones are the only bit worth salvaging IMO ;)

[Lozzo]

I've got a good candy burnt copper top fairing for sale if anyone ever needs one - one slight bit of paint missing in the usual place that looks like it's been over polished not crashed. 50 quid gets it.

[hindle8907]

its a gay colour, its just camo for the actual rust that's underneath ha ha.

[eviltwin]

You're obviously new around here and haven't yet realised that the gingers sit quietly in the corner, only speaking when spoken to ;)

[simesb]

'Twas the fastest colour

[Stingo]

Ahem...I have one...

[flymo]

isnt it just Ginger? :-)

[cF^]

can I call my sv an LE too then? I'll call it the SV650n LE XRi LS. The more acronyms at the end the cooler you are right? ;)

Not sure why but I love that silver pointy with the orange wheels + screen!

[PoRk ChOp]

'Twas the fastest colour

Thats because the riders felt so ashamed riding a ginger bike, they rode like the clappers so as not to be identified =;

[Elltg]

I obviously read things too literally "burning coppers". Thought it was a bit odd.
I thought "burning copper owners" was an even more bizarre title.

I think one of the most interesting things about the different years is how they change the wheel colours. I did find it interesting when i was on the lookout for some black curvy wheels.

I saw one parked in Karrats cafe car park at Shoreham last summer ... I'm sure the owner was a member on here !!!

[DarrenSV650S]

The is because it is sexy. You obviously have impeccable taste

[SUPERSTARDJ01]

I'm sure i've seen one in milton Keynes either at Mission motorcycles or on the road.

[seedy100]

One more for the pot.

Still going strong at 40000 miles.

It does not come out of the garage so often now as the beemer lives in front of it.

[Quiff Wichard]

Grant has one doesnt he..

scottish grant.

[haggis]

He does indeed. Nicer colour in the flesh, if i'm honest.

[Uu Mr.E uU]

I'm sure i've seen one in milton Keynes either at Mission motorcycles or on the road.
that would be my bike as ive worked at missions last year. now at triumph in woburn lol

[jwizzleyo]

I have one, but I HATE the silver frame/wheels. Plan on painting them maybe this off season, probably black...

[Uu Mr.E uU]

yer black sounds good but personally i think black chassis and wheels will make the bike look heavy when its not. just like the k9 bike.

[hindle8907]

black fame is the way forward ;)

[650Racks]

Well, noise wise it's insane!
Gives the SV a fantastic growl and it certainly not quiet.
Quality wise it's top notch, lovely finish and in all very good quality.
Payed £140 from the bay ;)

[Geodude]

Ahh nice one chandler, was the delkevic one not up to much?

Spotted this one out and about around here...

[Chandler93]

Nahh it was but I came off the other day so it needed replacing =/
I'm alright, bike was a bit bruised like but she's all back together now better than when she started ;) Used it as an excuse to buy a few bits and bobs.

Careful, the gingerness is spreading from the plastics onto your swingarm, before long it will be all ginger if you leave it to work its magic!

[Chandler93]

Hope youdidn't damaged that unique fairing!
Fortunately not!
There was a few little tiny scuffs which will polish out easy enough =)

They were saved by the bar-end and exhaust!

I'll get one recorded and uploaded as soon as!

There is a 2004 model in A&M motorcycles in Letchworth to add to your list

And I bought it!

Hi All brand new here as you can see first post, bought mine at the end of May, so two birds with one stone I thought I'd say hello (HELLO) and post a reply here as well!\\:D/

Regards

Mark

[Luckypants]

Hi Valamar, nice looking pointy (for a ginger ;)) - you might want to start a 'hello' thread in the Idle Banter section of the forum to introduce yourself to the mob...8-)

[valamar]

Cheers Luckypants, said hello there as well (newby being polite) and put the pics there too...

[The Idle Biker]

Cheers Luckypants, said hello there as well (newby being polite) and put the pics there too...

Very nice, now then....take those silly warning stickers off. Heat gun, and/or white spirit will do the job. Enjoy, ride safe.

[valamar]

Cheers Idle was wondering wether they should go! or keep it as it came out of the factory! would use white spirit if I did.. heat gun hmm bound to bend burn or break something...ha ha

Mark

[The Guru]

Use a hairdryer if you dont want to use a heat gun and some WD40 to get rid of any stickiness.

[valamar]

Cheers Guru will try that when I clean it next...

Mark

[TCochrane]

I have a copper pointy :)

This is her at the moment, but have a few mods on the way so will update at end of week when they're installed :)

I personally love the colour

[carelesschucca]

Blueflame (Grant) up here has one so that's six.

There's a good reason they're rare if you ask me!

[joshwalker094]

Guy at Motocentre on washway road, altrincham has one, I see it parked outside everyday, must go in and say hello

[The Guru]

Should also have said, I bought one a wee while back (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=162285&highlight=project) which is now my brothers.

[[etesv650]
