I'm thinking of buyin this sv1000sk3 and was wondering if it was a good deal or not. So here's what it is.............

2004 53reg sv1000sk3, silver, 32,000 miles, hpi clear, new mot and service, full service history, supplied with warranty, scorpion end cans plus the originals, 1 mature owner with all recipts supplied. £2,499. bike shop not private sale.

+1 - seems to have a bit of high mileage. But bike business were selling one a while back with 53,000 miles on the clock for ?2700 on a 03 plate!

Who ever brought it was obvisly QUAKERS

DO NOT GET PARANOID ABOUT MILEAGE !!!

Jeez, the way people go on these days amazes me !! It's not that long ago that the average mileage for a bike was about 10k per year - before too many people decided to buy a bike as a summer 'toy' & screw up the averages for the rest of us !!

The SV Thou engine is well proven lump (in fact Suzuki just don't produce 'bad' engines) so mileage shouldn't be a problem if you can verify the Full Service History has been done correctly & at (approx) the correct intervals.

32,000 miles isnt too much. It'll go pop in about another 100,000 miles AT LEAST :D

I say go for it!

I know I would be tempted...

Agreed, It is annoying that if I was to cover just 5000 miles per year on my Kwak and sell it after 3 years it would be classed as high mileage, WTF with only 15,000 on the clock. Some cars do that in less than a year.

It amazes me how many bikes you see in dealers a year or 18 months old with only about 1500 miles on the clock, its barely been run in properly FFS!!

I do only really use my bike as a weekend and nice day commuting tool but even so I am not concerned about the mileage on it as I know I will have it serviced on time and by a Kwak dealer( mainly to keep the warranty) so if I do a fair few miles on it I am not bothered. I know it has been looked after.

Look at the type of seller as well a mature sensible type has looked after it more than likely through those 32K miles.

ah yes, if you read the bible closely it's actually immoral to ride a motorcycle, or at least i bet there's a nut-case church in the states that's managed to misinterpret a translation of a translation of a translation of the years old recollections of a cattle sacrificing primative in order to justify their own beliefs...

or am i just being cynical...

Strangly likely to be the case mate. :rolleyes:

As for the bike knock a little more off if you can :p. But all in not a bad price for what you get. Try to get a decent warrenty, incase there are any obvious issues come to the surface. ;)
