The most expensive curvy thread

[PhilSV]

I'm keeping an eye out for a nice k2 at the minute and am shocked at what some people 'think' their bike is worth. So if your surfing and you see some thing expensive, please add it. No track/race prep'd bikes

Mine : MCN 99 T reg 5200miles £3500 !!!!

[Matt-EUC]

Do fancy paint jobs count?

Also, is the idea to beat your price, or just post abhorrently over priced curvies?

[PhilSV]

Its the wildliufe one thats now on ebay, was on MCN .LOL !! Yuk ! Just overpriced curvies, or anything that makes you take a sharp intake of breath/ laugh !!

[Matt-EUC]

THIS! (http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201505213658499/sort/pricedesc/postcode/gu337hn/radius/1501/make/SUZUKI/model/SV/cc-to/700cc/page/1/usedbikes)



X reg 12k miles £2,975.

Apparently has traction control, ABS, LCD screen and "upgraded mirror package" and is also apparently a car.

To top it off, it also has a stainless exhaust AND a titanium exhaust.

[Red ones]

I like that one.
All those mods and still factory spec. It must be the subtlety of the uprated mirrors, LED indicators and the carbon fibre mudguard that keeps the price up. Afterall they almost look like standard parts, along with the Stainless/titanium exhaust that looks just like the standard can.

Wish I'd got a sum close to that price for my X reg when I sold it 10 years ago!

[Matt-EUC]

They're not that far off new nowadays.

[PhilSV]

Fantastic description lol !!

[Kenzie]

Tell you what, that amazing invisible centre stand is great! Where can I get one?

[dizzyblonde]

Note the Buy It Now price, and the little plate above the end can for that added security....

Why??

I like good paint jobs, but that i dont like.

[PhilSV]

Its a bit erm ... personal !!

[Moleman]

Is that Zebra grinning! The elephant looks in shock.. Not my thing but if it floats your boat what the hell :-) my curvy look very tame next to that one..

[BanannaMan]

That's got to be one of the worse designed paint jobs ever.
I'm sure the owner thinks that makes it worth more as well. :rolleyes:

[L3nny]

You can get a brand new pre-reg SV for £4200, with 0% finance as well!

The crazy thing is, the dealers actually think they will get that money for it. I've had some good deals on bikes but I've also tried to negotiate with a salesman who is convinced his bike is worth 50% more than it is and wont budge.

[DJFridge]

How can a bike that age only have 5200 miles? I presume whoever painted it never actually rode it anywhere

[PhilSV]

Ive seen a 2001 with 1800, yes 1800 miles on it for sale £2k its yours, myself I think id spend 2k on a k6!!

[Matt-EUC]

My curvy only had 5k on the clock when I bought it.

According to the salesman at the dealer where I bought my Strom, the average mileage expected for a 3 year old bike was 6k.

[PhilSV]

Worth a little mention 2002 on gum 12k £2300!

[PhilSV]

This made me smile: 2001 51500, yes 51,500 main feature that makes me want to buy it,not, are the 3 keys one for the tank one for the ignition and one for the seat lock, amazing !!! Bargain Id say, just reaching for my Nigerian bankers draft !!!
yours for £1995

[carelesschucca]

LOL!!! I'm loosing it, I've looked at this thread plenty of times but I've just misread it and thought expensive Curries. Hmmm. I must be hungry!!!

i was the same ;)

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Had a lovely curry tonight, made especially good by how rare they are in our house as youngest likes them, but is allergic to something in them and vomits copiously after eating, he is away with his horse for the week so we are making the most of it.

[L3nny]

Not a curvy but still overpriced. Really fancy a mutton madras after reading the last few posts

[Stinka]

[PhilSV]

(ps sorry lenny thought you were si so some of my messages wont have made sense!)

[L3nny]

Si is the lanky one with the ghey yellow leathers, I am the good looking one with the really dirty SV, well I've sold it now but I was.

[Viney]

[svrich_02]

My word, I'm looking to off load my K4 next month, its needs a bit of TLC and by no means mint condition and I was looking for £800. Might have to rethink my price now LOL :-k:D:D

[L3nny]

To be fair, that does look like a lot of money has been spent on it. Forks, tail, bars, paint job and probably shock as well.

[svrich_02]

Oh yeah, just wouldn't be for me. Sorry to go off on a tangent but before I put my K4 up for sale would the org agree £800 would be a realistic price?

As I say its been used in all weathers so gives you and idea of condition. MOT'd till Sept 16. It's got a few mods. Raised rental bars, braided lines, scotoiler. Part service history and had new chain and sprokets fitted last November, 40K on the clock but due to a recent very slow off the akropovic can is bent.

Cheers

[L3nny]

Got £1200 for a k7 in similar condition last year, although the mileage was half what yours was so yeah, decent price. I'd say clean it up, ask for a grand and see what happens :)

Is this the one? I suppose the mileage is pretty low at only 37k!!!!!!

The same seller is also selling a mudgard for a 125 for £220.

The same seller is also selling a mudgard for a 125 for £220.

The description cracks me up............

Good bits/extras:
Tail tidy. Michelin Road 2 Tyres. (65-75% lifetime left) Delkevic silencer (AMAZING V2 SOUND! ).
Belly pan.
R&G Crash Bobbins.
Fresh M.O.T. No issues.
Carbon effect filler cap & top yoke cover.
Washable sport air filter (Maintained).
Piramid rear huger / mudguard - chain guard.
Fully checked over (by Major Motorcycles!)
Swing arm lifter bobbins



Bad points:
Rider's seat has some crack on it. Brake calipers are a bit tatty (Previous paint job). No binding brake!
Drive chain has got some tight spot.
Service required. No record about previous service history.
Only 1 ignition key.
Frame covers are missing. (Black, small plastic covers, under rider's seat.)

Don't concern yourself that it needs a service and has no service history, the washable air filter has been maintained - well that's a relief!!

I guess it must be the fake carbon top yoke cover that's commanding such a high price.

[DarrenSV650S]

I emailed them asking if it had some amazing engine mods to justify the price being £1k over the cost of a new SV

[andrewsmith]

5.5k

Is daft! might offer 1500

I do like the belly pan though, anyone know where I can get one?

So how did you find it :-)

Buying a sewing machine?

Not expensive but WTF

[maviczap]

Aaaaaaaaaarrh my eyes

But for £300 a good track bike buy? Throw the fairing away, sell the rack & plate and just sort it out

[carelesschucca]

That's brilliant, I love it.... Wouldn't be seen dead in the same county as it but YES!!!

[500tie]

It's like an SV has had a bad accident with a 70's BMW

Holy cow that's an ugly bike.

unique is not the verb I'd use Bill!

[L3nny]

I love how the bloke is looking at it so carefully.
"Hang on, let me take a closer look, yep, yep that's just as I thought, it looks awful"
P.S. What's that yellow thing in the background? It looks almost as bad.
