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?

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

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!!

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

where did you hear that?

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.
