Buying a new SV - Best prices?
 

Hello, I'm considering buying the new SV650 K9 and the best price I've found so far is £4450 OTR - inc first service free, tank of petrol, 12 months road tax. Does anyone know of any better deals out there at the moment?

Re: Sv650 2009
 

how about a 2nd hand one for ½ the price?

should get a tidy 05

with a few extra mods all ready done


edit, ps welcome to the org

I know of a K8 with 4100 miles reg may 08 selling for £3299 from a dealership - just not sure about buying second hand as I don't know what to look for (faults etc)

well thats just saved you over a grand:p

where abouts are you? as there maybe some one on here willing to look at one with you, for a cup of tea and bit of lunch.

although theres not much to look at on an 08 with that low milage, unless its been dropped


i would be looking for a 06-07-08

you will lose a lot of money buying new, is it your first bike?

not a bad price ,but try ringing around a few national dealers and play them off one another. They need to make a living but you also need a good deal. Doing that I got over 1600 off my bike including delivery etc. Out of 14 phone calls, 3 dealers came down to esentially the same price (35 quid in it). So it was really down to colour scheme that i wanted.
If its just the naked version I guess you could get that below 4K, or 4.4 with some goodies (heated rips, luggage etc)

yeah its my first bike, I also saw the Bandit on £3999 and have heard good reports (although I dont think it looks as good as the sv), just need to decide!!

Re: Sv650 2009
 

arnt the new bandit's made in spain draw your own conclusion's on that.

where did you hear that?

Re: Sv650 2009
 

go and have a look at the little metal plate on the frame just summat i heard.

agree with Odin, if you want brand new - ring round - i got 1300 off list on mine.

for an SV personally i would go 2nd hand as Hovis says, you can pick up a tidy K5 or K6 for just over half the cost of a new one.

brand new is cool, BUT only if you are going to keep for a good few years due to the resale value.
