Major differences between 1000 & 650
Hi,
theres a nice clean K3 1000 in my local dealer, priced at £3999. My insurance company say they want another £205 to cover me for it. Other than engine size, is there any other advantages of the thou? I'm looking for better braking and a firmer ride. Also, does £3999 sound good for that? I maybe could get another £200 off the price, but would have to trade in my K3 650 for it. |

Whats the milage, condition, etc (and is it a naked) ?
The SV1000 has 4 pot calipers instead of 2 pots like on the 650, so yes it's got better brakes. It's also got fully adjustable suspension front and back. |

Its a 1000S, looks immaculate. I think the mileage is 4K.
One thing that struck me is that it may accommodate my 6'3" frame better than the 650. It just looked a little more 'chunky'. |

Luckily for you, you get better braking and a firmer ride
 Forks and shocks are better- properly adjustable cartridge items on the front and a fully adjustable rear shock. Neither is particularily fantastic IMO. Plus you get the same 4-pot calipers as used to be on GSXRs, pretty good, though they're on slightly smaller discs.

And Scoobs, MattSV had one of those inferior curvey machines, so he won't be able to help
