Pointy SV650S, Can I have some advice on price please

[pencil shavings]

Ive been offered a 2003 SV650S K3 with 5100 miles, datatool system 3, FSH, T&T, two brothers exhaust. Its in the GSXR colour scheme.

How much would be a fair price for this?

Thanks!!

£2000-£2500 ?

Thanks!!

they didnt do a 650sk3 in gsxr colours so i'd be keen to find out why its had a full respray? if the reason was just a change of colour id say the bike was probably worth around the 2.5 - 2.7k mark if its really clean.

Ok thanks kwak zzr,
this is a picture of the bike, i will ask what the clour scheme is about. What models were done this way? thanks

[kwak zzr]

the k5 and k6 sv1000s was the only ones i know of.
it does look a nice bike tho and i do like the colour.

A fine looking bike. Check with insurance about the paint job.

I guess £2.5k would be a sensible price if its very nice. Not much point spending more on a K3 as there a millions of good ones out there.

Definitely not standard paint job, however some dealers did sell them from new like that - one near me used to get Dream Machine to do their paintwork

[pencil shavings]

ok thanks, why did some dealers do that? just like promotion? should there be paperwork to say its been done?
thanks

[kwak zzr]

if dream machine did it there should be paperwork, they do the job right, last time i got quoted was £700 but that was ages ago.

[pencil shavings]

yep it was a dreammachine paintjob.

I just went and picked her up, abs lovly! Im soo happy!! :D :D

It in great condition as well

did i mention im happy?!?!?!? :smt111

[trickywoos]

And another Guildfordian as well!! Look forward to seeing you around town!

how much u pay then

[pencil shavings]

got it for £2500, and it so well looked after, not a mark anywhere! :)

[kwak zzr]

well done with the purchase! nice paintwork.

[d8mof]

na im not a fan of the lowers, i think i will get a belly pan at some point though!! but im not keen on the idea of getting it colour coded!

Although i have to say the spray has been done well and looks really professional, i cant stomach it on an SV650. For me its not a GSXR and shouldn't try to be.

Thats just my opinion though and if you like it, thats what counts :)

I am interested to know if it will affect your insurance and if so by how much?

[Captain Nemo]

its not just a gsxr scheme though is it,
its a tradtional suzuki colour scheme , their clothings been like that for years, the gsx1400 it the same as is the gs500 and thats far from a sports bike,

i think it looks great, nice to see something a bit different thats been done properly, dream machine do really good paint,

glad you didnt pay any more than a standard bike though.

enjoy.

well purchased. I bought my k3 for 2600 with a system 3 on a year ago now in mint condition although it did need new tyres....

Good buy!
