Not trying to annoy you or anything mate, but IMO the price is too high. Yes it has a good mileage on it...buttttt.... the bike is sorn, you need to state for how long, cos then its been rotting away wherever you keep it(joking on that).
I bought my mint 99 SVS for £1800 and it has had a fair few mods on it compared to yours (see sig). I know there arent many miles. It may kieep your price up for a while.
Pictures and a few more details may help...Tyres running(do they need changing), last time spark plugs, oil, air filters were changed. Service history receipts, assuming there wont be too many of those.
Been silly here but doesnt the bike been Sorn mean that it hasnt had an MOT, if it doesnt mean that then put how long is left till that runs out.
Also add to factor that winter is around the corner bikes arent as popular with some, and even i noticed last year how prices drop through winter.
Maybe stick it on ebay, you may get what you want on there. Like i say its all strictly IMO, you can read this and think watta c0ck but i'm only advising and trying to help ya mate.
Upload some pics too.

I Did'nt ask for your opinion or advice so keep it to your self
I Did'nt ask for your opinion or advice so keep it to your self
no you did'nt, but the people were only trying to help you sell your bike, which IMO is atleast £500 overpriced but you did not ask for my opinion or any advice, so you can have that bit of advice for free
5000 miles on a 7 year old bike? & sorn? has it been sat in the garage for the last 5 years?
has it any MOT?
ps. welcome to the madhouse

What is it with you people,if your not interested in the bike then keep quite! as for over priced parkers price guide £1770, have a look in autotrader at there prices, two for sale on this forum,take a look one a 2002 with 28k miles for £1795,a 2001 with 19k miles for £1950 did you tell them they were over priced no so £500 over priced get real

mate....... you need to chill out a bit, you are new? cant you take a joke? do you honestey think that mr plowsie is going to hunt you down with a stick?
post some piccys of your bike then, as you said you were going to.then we can see why its worth nearly £2000
you are asking too much for your bike IMO , which is up to you, but to report the good mr plowsie is out of order
GROW UP
guess im going to get reported now....... oh well . so be it
EDIT HA HA i see you have edited your 1st post reducing the price......... took all our advice eh?
I Did'nt ask for your opinion or advice so keep it to your self
Thats right you didnt, so I apologise if my actions offended you, basically mate this is a community we try to help others out, if you cant handle a bit of friendly advice then you,re in the wrong place.

no, but mototech did not comment on how long you have had the bike....................... he said you will have it a lot longer, as it wont sell
HTH
Must be some kind of a record this, to pi$$ so many people off with so few posts, I think this is a wind up meself
and looks like you've registered for the site to sell ya bike
If you take a look at his join date it says Feb 2007 which is 7 months gap actually. He's just a lurker or doesn't frequent the forum as much as we do.
TBH I can see why he's p**sed off with us filling his thread as some of the advice here isn't helpful, but some is.
Yes, he could be a little bit courteous in his replies though. Something like "I am just trying to sell my bike, please refrain from posting if you are not interested. Thank you" I think everyone here has got off on the wrong foot.
in my defence i was not going to comment on the price until he started slagging off people.
then i only suggested it was overpriced
& asked for piccys to see how good it was
i also enquired as to if it had any MOT & why the low milage?
thanx
ps look at all the free BUMPS its getting

Hovis the bike was never £2000 so wrong again, your right about this forum its not for me, its left a nasty taste in my mouth ,this will be the last post i put on the site

yep threw his toys out

This bike sounds great :) I'm very interested.
My budget is £900, though. Any use, kid?
Alright guys, I can see no-one's bothered reading the 'Guidlines' thread located at the top of the For Sale section...
Guidelines (http://forums.sv650.org/announcement.php?f=113&a=62)
Here's the part in question:
Unsolicited Advice
Any advice you may have in relation to items for sale, for example guidance on asking price, should be sent by PM unless the seller has specifically solicited this advice.
People tend to be sensitive to advice of this nature from complete strangers and often take it as criticism. These guidelines are in place specifically to stop this sort of thing happening. Read 'em. :smt066
So, can we please stop with the catter-walling and apologise to kitaco kid?
Ahthanguverymuch. :)

plowsie, phone him up (his telephone number is on the original post) and apologise properly ;-)

think stewie has just seen him up millenium motorcycles lol
Ok, first off I think I may be partly responsible for this situation, when I quoted plowsie on fri nite I did it from work and the p.c., s there will not allow emoticons, if it had allowed me to use them there would have been one of these :D or one of these ;) in the post. So basically it might have appeared to a stranger that I was just telling him what to do when in fact I was genuinely trying to be helpful, anyone that knows me will tell you that, however if yet another apology is required along with the one I have already posted in this thread and the one which I sent him last nite via a pm then so be it, sorry mate genuinely trying to be helpful I aplogise unreservably if my comments caused offence, incidentally my offer of meeting at Millenium this morning was a genuine offer.
Stew
i sent him a pm last night as well, but as i told him, he has been a member for quite a while, he should be able to take a bit of banter
when i was selling all my SV bits razor said i was having a larf asking the prices i did, but it all went so:smt019to razor

tis a grey area offering friendly advise to would be sellers..especially if you dont know them and you have NO way of anticipating how they will interpret anything said.
:offtopic:
if i remember the best wording is
you can please some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time, but never all of them all the time.
when in doubt ask questions first and then shoot later....:smt071

he should be able to take a bit of banter
If this thread were in idle banter, then yes I agree, but its not its in for sale, Ping has already explained the correct etiquette for this section so make sure that well follow it.
Remember one mans banter is another ones insult. Personally if you guys had spammed one of my for sale threads like that then I'd be pretty annoyed about it to.
I dont care whether he's a newbie or somebody thats been around for ages, everybody should be being treated the same.
If you've got nothing nice or constructive to say, or you can't word it in such a manner that does not cause offence then you should stay out of the thread, especially if its not your item for sale.
You wouldnt ring up somebody who advertised their bike on autotrader and say. "I'm not interested in buying your bike, but its £500 over priced so you'll never sell it" would you, No so dont do it on here. Its rude and impolite, So knock it off.
Thanks
