You need to ride this bike to see how much better it is than stock! The suspension upgrades really do transform it, and the front brakes are outrageously good! Got to go as i now need a car for work and can't afford both and unfortunately I rarely get a chance to use the bike these days :(

Any questions fire away and viewings are welcome, no cash no test ride!

[DarrenSV650S]

:eek: after all that work?

That's a good deal for someone.

MOT til May 2010 and tax til November.
Do you mean 2011?

[svdemon]

Oh aye good point its 2011!!!

I like the work part as much as I do the riding part! Its a shame really as it is now how I wanted it all along but needs must unfortunately :(

[Andy17898]

any pictures of the front end mate, head on like

[svdemon]

Added a pic of the front

[davatron]

beautiful bike, a if i had a bit more money and if you would be a bit closer...

[mattneighbour]

^^^ Ditto the above, might be able to afford it but I'm in East Anglia and train tickets to Edinburgh are not cheap!

[svdemon]

I bought the bike in Manchester, train ticket - £10!!!

[svdemon]

Bump before it hits the murky depths of ebay

[svdemon]

Ok i've had no interest in the bike so i'm gonna workout if its worth breaking, get your dibs in now!

[Nelson]

Breaking that beauty would be a travesty!

[ophic]

Breaking that beauty would be a travesty!
Agreed... but dibs on front end anyway :D

[svdemon]

Got someone interested so it could be staying in one piece!

[StuOwen86]

Interested in Rear Shock and Seat Cowl depending on price if you do decide to break it.

If not good luck with sale...

Stu

[svdemon]

I'll let you know if the buyer doesn't want the cowl

[StuOwen86]

ok cheers mate..

Stu

[Davy.h]

Is this still for sale ???

[svdemon]

Yep still for sale mate

[Davy.h]

Pm sent.

[svdemon]

Offers?

[Vorkohnen]

Note my interest - need to confer with a knowledgeable friend first. I'll update you soon though.

[slinky]

are you still looking to sell this Ian?

[svdemon]

Still for sale folks! Grab yourself a fully sorted SV!

[slinky]

OK thanks Ian - I just need to insure this up as I am a new rider and looking to buy a bike, so not too sure if all the mods will kill me on insurance. Don't know if this is anything you can advise on?

[yorkie_chris]

Careful choosing your insurance company and it should be ok.

[svdemon]

Any insurance company i've spoken to have said the suspension makes no difference, most are only interested in power gains. You may as well buy a bike with these mods as you'll want to do them to a stock SV after about 30 seconds of crashing through potholes on the stock suspension!

[svdemon]

Now appearing on an ebay near you! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110557426592

[Bibio]

i have seen this bike in the flesh and its worth every penny he is asking.

[Nelson]

Love your ebay username!

How many miles?:smt104

;)

[svdemon]

Its the highest mileage SV in the country! ;) Cheers for pointing that out!!! Its really 14.5k

[Dan.]

can i ask where you got your belly pan from?

[svdemon]

I don't know where it came from as it was on the bike when I got it, its the best one i've seen mind!

Still not one offer on this bike!

[blakes]

Hi. Love the bike. I keep coming back to look at it!

I'm wondering, what is the ride height like, and has the Gixxer suspension made it any taller? I'm a bit of a short @r5e and my old ZX636 was the absolute limit in terms of height for me to be able to ride comfortably. I am just wondering what SV 650's are like in that respect?.... as I'm rather fancying one.

Thanks

[svdemon]

Gixxer shock is exactly the same length and the forks are a bit shorter so its a bit lower at the front. I would go as far as to say its the perfect bike for you! ;)

[blakes]

So the ride height is quite low then?

Gixxer shock is exactly the same length and the forks are a bit shorter so its a bit lower at the front. I would go as far as to say its the perfect bike for you! ;)

It would be if it was a couple of hundred miles closer and a couple of hundred quid cheaper! :rolleyes:

[svdemon]

Don't be afraid to travel for the right bike, I went to Manchester to get this. A quick train journey is no big deal!

[blakes]

Its been a few years since I rode... wouldn't much fancy riding back all that way at the moment really. Its a shame really.

[Bibio]

how low do you want to go?

i can get it low enough for someone 5'1" to get their feet almost 'cpl mm' on the floor (me)

this involves a seat scoop, lowering dogbones and front end drop to match the rear.

you will not be disappointed with the handling/comfort of this bike all the mods have been done. ok if you want you could go to the expense of getting front/rear springs to match your weight but i doubt you would tell the difference unless you took it onto a track. the different suspension realy does make a good bike into a great bike.

I just wondered if they are quite a big bike or not, as standard (or in this case with the Gixxer mods) due to my size. Or lack of (5ft 6ish!)

[svdemon]

Someone who's around that height will come along soon enough no doubt, i'm 5'9 and i get both my feet flat down and then some

[Bibio]

on a standard k4> i'm on my tippytoes and i'm 5'1" short. on a k3 its a ballet dancer act. suspension mods and seat scoop and i'm sitting almost flat footed. with just a lowered (suzuki accessory) seat i'm on the balls of my feet.

you at 5'6" should be on the balls of your feet and with a lowered seat you should be flat footed'ish.

i would suggest you go and sit on one and decide for yourself, but there are loads of things you can do to get them lower. there was a member on here who was 4'10" if i remember who got her bike low enough to feel comfortable to ride.

lowering a bike can be done on almost anything but the SV is one of the easiest to do.

[svdemon]

I've now had interest from a few parties, don't be afraid to hire a van and take a drive to see some bikes then if you buy one put it in the back of the van and bobs your uncle.

Don't be afraid of a wee drive to sunny Scotland!! Just remember your rain jacket!!

[svdemon]

Weekend bump!

[svdemon]

Gonna give another couple of weeks then break this bad boy!

[svdemon]

bump

[dinnyk500]

PM'd

[svdemon]

Fresh years MOT now too

[svdemon]

Anyone got any feedback they can offer on this sale? I've had no serious interest yet! I think its priced very competitively.

[Bedhead]

If I was in the market for a 2k SV, I'd have it off you in a shot, but at the minute, you can't seem to give the things away. A lot of people don't like modified bikes though, even if the mods increase the performance, I've tried selling bikes with different front ends and I've always been asked if they were front ended. :(

[svdemon]

I was thinking the same myself the mods are purely about quality, I could not go back to a bike with crappy budget suspension for the comfort factor alone!

[philpy008]

Bike looks mint mate just wondering how easy it is to add the full fairings to it and how much would that cost?

[svdemon]

I would imagine its 4 bolts and however much the fairings cost off ebay, personally I much prefer the SV with a belly pan seeing as its a naked bike really.

Also the belly pan on this is very rare and the best one in my opinion!

[svdemon]

Last few days on Evilbay!!!

[svdemon]

Just about to finish on ebay

[svdemon]

Oh well it didn't sell!

Who wants a complete GSXR K3 front end to go straight on a pointy SV? £600

[Bedhead]

Dunno if you'll get £600 for it. I'm broke till next week though.

[svdemon]

£600 is very reasonable for a plug and play conversion, you'll sell your SV stuff for more or less the same so its essentially a free upgrade if you can do the work yourself.

[barwel1992]

£600 is about the going rate, last year you could have had a USD front for the same price but not any more

[Bedhead]

You can bring a USD front end from the US for about £400 if you troll the net, add £100 for a SV1000 wheel and you're sorted.:)

You need to know a friendly breaker for the wheel.

[svdemon]

And then you need bearings, brake pads, good discs a speedo set up and a tyre. Why would you use an SV1000 wheel and not the GSXR one? They must be like rocking horse poo!

[Bedhead]

Exactly why you use the SV wheel, the two are interchangable, but when you say "GSXR" to a breaker, they load the price up. The USD fronts I see advertised are complete with calipers and are frequently brand new.

GSXR's tend to have a lot of front end shunts, maybe that why the wheels are rare.

It takes a bit of time thought to get the stuff together. Over here we can use GSXR fronts in racing SV's so original SV fronts are pretty cheap.

Sad thing is, I would have bought yer front end but I just ordered a top yoke kit for my old stuff. :(

[svdemon]

I found the opposite to be true when I was looking on ebay for the parts to do this conversion SV wheels were a nightmare to find and GSXR wheels a lot cheaper, i'll just need to see how it goes on good old evilbay.

[Luke-Mac]

Seems such a shame to be breaking such a beaut, if only it had come up 2 months earlier!!

[yorkie_chris]

maybe that why the wheels are rare.

Blame racing.

Paddocks are a good place to look for wheels, get a complete set of wets on wheels and sell off the tyres, rear wheel etc. works out pretty cheap.

[Davies 52]

Hi mate,are you breaking this bike !!! If so how much you want for rear shock.

[svdemon]

Its under offer again so i'll wait and see what happens there, was out on it at the weekend and seriously thinking about keeping it! Too much fun!

[DarrenSV650S]

lol

[Fluffer]

Afternoon all!

It doesnt help you at all Iain but i signed up especially to reply to this thread and say i would love this bike... Am after exactly this and would snap it up but have been looking for dealer options for the finance as i dont have 2k cash lying around. Checked behind the sofa and everything! :(

If you havent broken it by then (which i really hope you dont do / havent done!) then i'm actually up in edinburgh last few days of the festival fri 27th - Mon 30th and would love to take a peek... i'd have to do some financial jiggerypokery and some sweet talking of family members / bank manager before hand so wouldnt waste your time at the time if i hadnt sorted anything by then but its atleast a possibility and like i say am on the lookout!

Literally signed up right now to add my bit in here, apologies if i'm going against forum rules & not introducing myself first #-oso just a quick couple lines in here now and will catch up on that stuff in a few... hopefully i dont offend too much as i'm not signing up and immediately asking for help which does my nut in! :tongue:

Anyway new rider, well still even doing my tests ...CBT / Theory out the way and booking mod1 / 2 for early sept i hope so am on the lookout for the right bike, based in west mids, just down the road from wylie and holland! ... hopefully i'll be much more involved on here when i finally get hold of a k3/k4 first choice blue but havent seen the bronze / red / silver in the flesh so cant rule them out!

Cheers
Craig

[svdemon]

No worries mate, i'm going to keep hold of it for now and if it sells it sells if not i'll break it nearer the winter as no one wants to buy a sorted SV!!!

[svdemon]

OK the tax runs out the end of this month so I need shot of this bike whether its in one piece or many!! I'm listening to offers on either the bike or any of the parts.

[Fluffer]

Evening Iain just dropped you a text, will call you tonight!

[Fluffer]

Ps Id better do a whole bike bagsy before the scavengers ;)

[svdemon]

Show me the money!!!

[slinky]

Why hasn't this sold yet, seems to be a bargain? Once bikes are modded are they harder to sell, insure, etc?

[yorkie_chris]

bit harder to sell as he is finding! no harder to insure

[hindle8907]

if i get my payout before this sells I may be interested.

[svdemon]

Seems to be harder to sell tastefully modified bikes! Perhaps I need to put the cr*ppy suspension back on to get some interest - NAAAAATTTT!!!!!

[hindle8907]

i want it just waiting for a pay out lol could be a good few week yet i will give you a shout

[svdemon]

Cool mate i'm in no rush to sell, I keep going out for runs to "charge the battery" and want to keep it but it'll have to go at some point to get onto that godamn property ladder :(

[PsychoCannon]

I'm parting with my bike this weekend at which point I'll be looking for a new commuter and this looks like a good fit!
Sent you a txt

[svdemon]

Ah apologies, i've got a new number 07561 324 699 i'll edit the original ad

[svdemon]

I need this gone by the end of the month, property plan is coming together! Offers anyone? Don't be scared to come to Scotland, in fact i'll deliver it hows that!!!

[DarrenSV650S]

This is turning in to an epic for sale thread. It should be in the stickys :p

[shanyangqu]

Nice bike, interested to buy if it haven't been sold

and 2 questions for u

1> can you deliver?

2> could you get HPI check? I can pay for this.

[hindle8907]

2> could you get HPI check? I can pay for this.

me to, i think the guy doesn't want to sell it deep down or something lol, as I have been interested for 2 weeks now and don't seem to be getting anywhere.

Iain if the bike is still for sale please can you reply to my PM's and Text messages cheers Ant . :smt090

[svdemon]

The bike is currently under offer as I keep telling you! No interest for months and now 4 people are interested!!! Tip for future haggling - don't offer less than the other bidder ;)

[hindle8907]

mate iv asked several times to arrange a viewing with my pal who lives 3 minutes up the road from you
if you go meet him or let him come to you then you would of sold the bike by now if its in the condition it looks on those photos,i dont know whats going on but its beginning to seem a dodgy sale .
you live in bathgate my pal lives in linlithgow 5 minutes apart and you wont him view the bike .....
iv got money sat here waiting i just need the all clear from my biker pal before i talk about the sale in seriousness as said in the PM's. when can he come over to see the bike ?

And BTW I'm not offering less as said above after I have been given the all clear from my biker pal who is willing to come to your house to view the bike then we can talk business.

getting offers is one thing but when you have someone who livs down the road and your are refusing a viewing based on an offer that someone else off the net has made just seems ludicrous.

if you want a sale then reply to the text messages sent from my guy.

[beabert]

Sod him mate, his loss :D

[svdemon]

Hardly my loss when the bike has more or less sold for a higher bid is it? Or do you not grasp the whole buying selling thing? Its not a reverse auction!

[hindle8907]

Ok I offer 2200 when can I view the bike ??

[hindle8907]

Look mate there no point in haggling about prices untill Somone has viewd the bike it's pointless if u was after a sale I'm sure you would would let people come view the bike As requested manny times so it appears you don't want rid or there is something fishy going on. I'm in the car as I post the on the way to view a bike I anit made the geeza a offer but after I have looked at the bike I might that's how it works .....

[svdemon]

And as I told you over and over again until I got bored of saying the same thing i'll let you know if this deal falls through

[hindle8907]

You haven't said that once all you said is you have been offered more and told me the offer then i told you would beat it and you still didn't get back to me
.you banged on about how much you want rid of the bike in this thread, I'm sat here with your asking price and your still refusing a viewing.
based on a potential offer that's been on the table for 2 weeks.
you could of had your 2000 asking price a week ago if you would of let me mate come see the bike when he phoned you up.

[svdemon]

I'm not going through this all again, i'll say it again for the last time - i'll let you know if the deal falls through!!

[husky03]

i think any potential deal between you two has fallen through

[svdemon]

Well observed!

[svdemon]

Sold!!!!!

[hindle8907]

was it to a fellow organ ?
