Im not an expert on this at all as i dont even own an SV but from what i know about the price of them it sounds awfully cheap for all that stuff. I would be asking why the person is selling it for that price. Has it been crashed/dropped etc?

Yep that is a good price as i paid 4200 new last June for the same bike except i have had to add the cost of lowers, hugger, screen and seat cowl and that one has em all. Just be wary that it is pretty cheap!!

Is it straight?All paperwork in order?1st service done?Is it the owner selling it?Sounds a good deal if all is in order.Bear in mind if the first service was'nt done within (I think)six weeks there may be an issue with the warranty.Still a good deal though.

I could be wrong on that six weeks for the first service.It could be six months,but it will be in the Suzuki bumph somewhere.

Whats wrong with it. For a K5 with 168 miles on it, why's it being sold ?

First thing I would do is ask the seller a few questions and also do a HPI check on it.

IIRC from what Liz said that the first servce is after 600 miles I dont think theres a time limit on it.

If the bike is straight no damage and the HPI check comes back all clear then I would say thats a very good price IMHO

Thanks for the info. IS the first service free with Suzuki? I'll run a HPI check before I part with any cash. I think he just needs cash as he has a baby on the way.

Depends on the dealer as to whether the first service is free I would think.

So hes selling it cheap to get a quick sale ? OK that seems fair enough, to me it seems to good to be true though.

Thats what I thought but its not that far from me to check it out just in case. Is warranty transferable? Just asking as if the HPI is clear and anything niggly goes wrong I'll have something to fall back on?

180 Mile round trip to look at a bike with petrol £25
One HPI Check £25
One week of 6am starts so my boss will give me some time off to view bike... painful


One gormless W****R who lets you do all this then decides to tell u he has finance outstanding on the bike but wants the money for the bike to buy him a new van while he continues to pay off the 0% loan for the bike he plans not to own....

PRICELESS!!!!

Only a though but has it been raced for a season and the road gear put back on? a quick check of the sump plug may give you a clue

unlucky mate, but dont be down, there are plenty of good genuine sellers who will have SVs for sale. They were the most popular budget middleweight last year selling 1500 so there'll be plenty on the market in the next few weeks. At least if you've had a look at a few, you've got an idea for whats out there and what to look for.

Cheers, shame though as everything else was spot on. Really spotless condition, all HPI was clear and only 168 miles for just 3K which is all I can afford really. Just keep on looking before the prices start rising for spring!
