View Full Version : Anyone know of any decent bikes for sale locally up to about £2k?
Got a friend getting back into biking. Ideally looking for an SV, Hornet, Fazer, Bandit type of thing. A sensible 600ish fairly upright bike.
Will need to be something he can just hop on and ride as he's not really into DIY bike fixing. Not looking for anything too sporty as he likes the more upright position.
Budget up to about £2k.
Anyone know of anything coming up?

I'll be selling my SV shortly, I know its not local but its faultless.
Its the one I overhauled early this year (thread knocking about somewhere). It was/is a high mileage SV I bought from a friend. He'd owned it from new and kept a full dealer maintenance history for it, I then got hold of it and tore it down to inspect everything because of the mileage as it is I've replaced so much of it the only thing thats covered those miles is the frame.
Completely dismantled and inspected every part.
Damn near replaced the whole bike.
New Bearings throughout,
Full service (Castrol Oil, Hi-flow filters, Irridium spark plugs and full fork service too inc replacement springs).
Replaced Throttle bodies
Replaced swing arm lower link and shock,
Fitted new C & S,
Fitted Scotoiler V system,
Brand spanking battery,
Spazzo levers,
Added a seat cowl and tail tidy too.
Passed an MOT last Thursday,
12 Months Tax started this month.
All replaced parts were taken from a K8 with under 10k on it all new parts are either pattern OEM or genuine suzuki.
I stripped all the S plastics off of it to convert it to a naked but they're all going to go back on (maybe this weekend) before it gets put up for sale by Easter where its also having the stubby scorpion can been replaced with a beowulf black and carbon.
Its a 55 plate and for an organ (or friend of) I'll let it go for £1800 so I at least break even on the cost of the replacement parts.
How it looked when I collected it:

Converted to naked and after all the work:
