New Toy for my holidays. - SV650.org

Just paid a deposit on something to keep the SV company in the garage!

Will collect it this week

Thanks for xXBadgerXx for all the information about the bike and the seller, that made the sale a less stressful experience.

Will be kitting it out with hard panniers and a top box, and taking it down to Portugal via the Plymouth - Santander ferry in around March time and doing a few days riding mountain trails with a mate. Plan to make that at least an annual trip, if not twice a year. Otherwise it's going to be my everyday bike for commuting and trips into town and perhaps some light green-laning.

It's a 2002 XT600E on a 52 plate, with 8300 miles on the clock and FSH.

I nearly fell off my chair when you mailed me asking if I knew the bike locally ............... Know it , it parks next to mine sometimes and the guy works with me as well . The power of the Org eh . Seriously considered this myself but could not justify it . Glad you are sorted on it . Shame you have to pick it up , I was hoping you were gonna ask me to ride it over for you

.

Enjoy it Col , it`s in bloody good nick and a nice looking bike .

I didn't want to be too cheeky and ask too many favours
