Looking at buying a newer SV, like the colour black, and respraying ym K3 is going to be too much ££ and effort.
Looking at this bike, 5000~ miles, K5, looks reasonable condition, its for sale in a auction, just wondering on price?? Thanks, David. ![]() |

Anything from 2500- 2900 depending on condition.
Pretty much what you're willing to pay for it! |

Its going in for a auction, the firms went into administration..
they had a price of £3199 on their website i just found.. Overpriced then? Also, if its listed in a auction, think theres any chance they would do me a private deal? I have minimal knowledge of how business's in administration work. |

I'd say £3k is very overpriced for a K5 when you consider that K7s and K8s are usually just past the £3k mark!

£3.2k I'd say is overpriced. Mind you, I'm selling my bike for a few 100s less than I could get if I waited, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask!

paint's coming off the frame of my K6 badly, corroded to moses but i think it's just shizzle finish from suzuki.
Looking at that more than 2.5k i'd be a bit gutted for paying even more so in the current financal climate as the bike's 4 years old. Last edited by thefallenangel; 16-03-09 at 08:08 PM. |

Nice bike, very nice bike... but is there a point?
Yes, it's a lovely bike ![]() My point is that it would be painful to drop the nice bike (and I think most of us have dropped a bike at some point), let alone something more serious... I'd say ride the one you have and when your restriction is up you can get a new one (SV or different). |
