Model ID

[krl]

I'm trying to sort out SV model designations. Y,X, K1,K2... I own a 12/00 Curvy, Red Metallic in colour. What model designation do I have?

[Law]

um..

X is 1999
Y is 2000
K(number) is 200(number)

Yours is a Y in pearl helios red?? or an incredibly late registered X???

My naked curvy was first registered registered in 2003 but from the frame number I know it's a K1. How did that happen guys?

Put your bike's reg number here~

It should give you some basic info including year of manufacture and model no.

It should state it on your log book!

my reg cert says:
first reg 12 06 2003
sv 650 k1
frame no: js1av133200101640
and the reg plate on the frame matches that.

I'd guess then that the bike was built (or at the very least shipped out the factory in a box) in 2001, hence it being a K1. But then it sat & didn't actually sell until 2003, so it was never registered with the folks at the DVLA until June 2003.

One reason for not registering a bike is that the Suzuki warranty starts on the day it's registered.

EDIT: This would also give a 'bonus' of an earlier bike, not actually moving, so having less miles on the clock ;)
