Just been sitting on new bikes
 
Just been down at Honda and liking the new CBF1000, really like the riding position (have not riden yet) just fits me really nice.

I was a little disapointed with the trade in price on my SV, only worth ?2,300 - ?2,500 although I have agreed to nothing, just looking and testing the waters.

Do SV's go down that much in price??

My bike is Kwak clean, just under 3 years old and with the extras in my sig.

a well known phrase involving the words "balloon" and "lead" springs to mind...

Got a trade in price on mine last week, 6 months old, low miles, as new £3000, killer :smt097

I think if you need to trade it in, sell the add ons seperately and trade in the bike in it's original state. The dealer price wont change much but you will get a better return for selling the other bits privately.

Not tried one on so can't say, but the bars do look low and that is what I am having trouble with on the SV.

I know you have to grip with knees and not lean on the wrist but I just feel to over the top on the SV, I don't know maybe I just need to get some new bars for the SV.

In which case it'll be no good. The Ninja plays havoc with my back.........although..........it's so fast and noisy. :smt045

Maybe try an unfaired SV?

2300 - 2500 for a K4 SV trade in is a good offer IMO mate. Won't get much more than than that privately.. I've seen K6's going for ?3000!

I got offered 2700 for my K6 when it was just over a year old and 10K miles. Obviously told them to jump. 3K was about the norm from other dealerships though. I wasn't worth much more than 3200 private sale. Paid 4K new.

not cheap, but you know what they look like and are very high quality
