I have been offered this bike, how much is it realistically worth?

Re: SV1000 Value
 

2200 lol its a steal at that price i would say

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Bargain and the right colour :D. That would be up for £3,000+ in a dealers with that mileage (if genuine of course)

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Mine was £500 more than that, with more miles to.

Re: SV1000 Value
 

it's only worth as much as someone is willing to pay !
HTH's ;-)

Re: SV1000 Value

the power is more than anyone could ever need in my eyes

Re: SV1000 Value
 

bloody head thats a steal !!!!!1

Re: SV1000 Value
 

How can i make my down pipes more shiney? and why do all my MOT certificates for the past 3 years call the bike a suzuki an 400? The guy also advertised it as an 400 in the ebay title? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Re: SV1000 Value
 

That is bloody lovely

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Get some Bar Keepers Friend from Asda

Add water, put on downpipes, make a cuppa, scrub with green scrubbing pads.

Re: SV1000 Value
 

It's a 400?

Re: SV1000 Value
 

AN400 is the Burgman scooter

Re: SV1000 Value
 

AN400 is a Burgman scooter. Sommat slightly dodgy?

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Please tell us you did a hpi check on it

Re: SV1000 Value
 

no idea but it definatly has a 180 rear tire on it, and the sv1000 are the only sv that had a rim that could take a 180 tire properly

maybe you shoul take it down the Mway flat out if you get it over 140mph then its defo a 1000 lol

Re: SV1000 Value
 

I think the biggest issue is that he has a SV1000 in front him, but the documentation is for a scooter. What does the V5 say?

Re: SV1000 Value
 

I did wonder that yesterday when I first read the thread, but took it as writer error.

Seems dodgy to me!

Sort that little detail out and then I'll tell you exactly how to get yer downpipes shiny.:-)

Re: SV1000 Value
 

there is that lol,

Re: SV1000 Value
 

My 1000s has black down pipes, I think it's only the unfaired "n" models had the shiny downpipes unless someone has changed them.

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Mainly cause yours are filthy:p


Hmmmmm perhaps the OPs new bike has indeed some dodgy reg plate? If an MOT centre is going off the reg, and its described as an400, surely that would be easily noticed?

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Lol well they are after yesterday, but generally they are matt black, I'd love shiny downpipes but I don't think these are stainless or chromed under the paint

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Kwak ZZR had a K3 faired thou with very shiny downpipe, have yours been painted or is it muck?! :D

Re: SV1000 Value
 

All SVs downpipes are stainless.

I think someone has had out the BBQ paint ;-)

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Definately painted, got me thinking now about some nice new shiny ones, or maybe strip them back and polish, can't see why someone would paint stainless or chromed pipes though.
Ian does the v5 clarify your issue ?

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Cos they couldn't be arsed polishing it, now go out a polish yours to shiny :D

Re: SV1000 Value
 

just hpi checked it and it shows this. mmmmmmm.............

I just checked the past 3 MOT certificates and they all call the bike a Suzuki AN 400. The V5 Also calls the Bike Suzuki AN 400. The 3 last letter saying thank you for for declareing as sorn also state Suzuki AN 400.

Everythink states the bike Suzuki AN 400 but also states 996cc in the same letter???

12 Months tax was £64 for 12 months in 2007 ? That seems a little low

Anybody got any ideas?

Re: SV1000 Value
 

all i can say is What the FU*k lol thats very strange

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Hopefully it's just a paper work error and dvla can fix it for you, do the engine and chassis nos match the v5 and mot cert

Re: SV1000 Value
 

12 months tax is currently £66 for the year for bikes of that size

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Ouch, sounds like a mess up that. As said by others, hopefully just a paperwork **** up somewhere. Get on to the DVLA asap and check the engine/frame numbers match up.

Re: SV1000 Value
 

sounds to me like you have a highly modded AN400 (lol) with a 1000cc v twin, shure does look like a sv thogh

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Spose theres one good thing, if its all above board, yer insurance will be peanuts???

Re: SV1000 Value
 

This doesn't look like it will end well. Even if the v5 is wrong all the past history is too decreasing itsvalue somewhat, although it was abargain anyway.

Just fingers crossed it's not cloned or dodgy, as you could end up without a bike.

Re: SV1000 Value
 

You got the best coloured Thou' there, but, make sure the contact the DVLA about the V5 as until that is right your insurance in invalid :-s

Anyway, who said something about down-pipes being shiny/black!? Mine are a nice ferrous oxide brown and have been since I bought her (and for a few years I would think.) The down-pipes and full exhaust system are part of my winter project.

Anyway, good luck with the V5 Ian and enjoy the Thou'

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Offtopic a bit but if the downpipes are really bad take wet n dry paper to them n keep goin finer grade untill theyr shiney thentake some autosol metal polish to them for ultimate chrome finish!!!

Re: SV1000 Value
 

Can I suggest a quick call to Suzuki too. As they can run the VIN number on their systems and see what it comes up with.......or at least they should be able to.

Re: SV1000 Value
 

pan scourer works quite well too.

Re: SV1000 Value
 

so does fine wire wool and WD40 then heat the bike up and let it smoke, seems to keep the crud off it and stops it from re rusting

Re: SV1000 Value
 

How do you know that?? :smt048
