which sv - SV650.org

Right so having now passed my mod 2 I can up my search for my sv. I'm looking for a fully faired pointy and prefer the newer black frames but of those are the later twin sparks any better or anything worth looking out for? Was thinking sub 20k ideally too or is mileage not that big a deal?

Do you have a budget, get as new as you can.

I'm going to replace my SV, with another SV

I currently have an SK4, which is a great little runner and sounds the dogs danglies!
As shiftin says, set a budget, then see what mileage and condition you can get for the money - looking at the fuel consumption thread in this area it would look like the twin sparks might be a tad thirstier but it doesn't look to be a great deal

The twin sparks should not be thirstier, if anything they should give better fuel economy, I believe they do anyway

I've got a 2011 yzf r125 on 7000k to sell so that plus a bit so £2500 +/- . I would like a fully faired s 2007 if I can in as low mileage and tidy as I can get.

2005 & 2006's had black frames without the emission control setup (twin spark plugs, lambda and catalyst).

Things to look out for are not paying too much for one that's about to need the expensive valve clearance check/adjust done, and generally factor in impending maintenance.

Condition is more important than miles given they'll seemingly do 100K without issue.

Do you like this?

There is also a 2008 naked, black, 15k miles for sale on here @ £2k

But like AlexAdams said, when looking at SVs make sure its either had its valves checked or its not going to need them doing shortly

Yes, I should have added a caveat that it could well be that only people who ride their twin plug models hard have posted their fuel figures, and those of us with single plug models ride more slowly - but either way it was a small variance in mpg numbers

Have a 2008 SV650S Sport, grey colour about 6000 mile (need to check actual mileage). The bike is in showroom condition. It has a tail tidy and rear seat cover (Suzuki one). Don't know how to post pictures here but if you are interested e mail me and I will try and post you some pictures. Put £2500 in my hand and it's yours. Not bothered if it sells or not, this is a 3rd bike to me and is not being used very much at all, has a MOT and currently under sworn.
