What is my bike worth

hi,

thanks for looking, i have recently purchased a 2008 fireblade, and i do not really have enough space for the little SV anymore, i have only put about 1.5k miles on in 2008, so i am considering selling.

the bike is a 2001 SV650s, pearl lively yellow, it has 16.5k miles on the clock, the bike is in good condition, and runs very well, i brought the bike 5 or 6 years ago at 5k miles

i last serviced the bike 1.5k miles ago, at that point i done the following-
changed spark plugs
changed brake pads
fitted new brake lines
new brake fluid
oil and filter change
air filter change
coolant fluid change
synchronised the carbs
valve clearance check
cleaned and lubricated pretty much all moving parts
stripped forks, fitted new springs, fluid and seals
cleaned and lubricated rear suspension
fitted new sprokets and chain



lots of extras fitted to -

suzuki tail tidy
suzuki lower fairings
pyramid fenda extenda
black rear hugger
hagon progressive springs
HEL brake lines
ignition advance key
seat cowl
black double bubble screen
paddock stand bobbins fitted
stainless steel slip on exhaust with removable baffle
i have changed the sproket gear ratios for more torque at the wheel
bridgestone BT-014's, rear needs replacing

the cons.

the engine was replaced at 9k miles with one that had 8k miles on the clock (engine was replaced due to damage caused by oil leak!). i still have the other engine which im planning to rebuild and sell.

the left side fairing was repainted, the painter didnt match the colour 100% so there is a slight difference. its also missing the decal.


so what do you think it is worth? thanks

£1400-1600 and sell your extras yourself if you can.

oh and congrats on the blade

that puts it down to the cheapest in its millage range on auto trader would it make much difference if i sorted the colour difference on the fairing and fitted the decal?

That's because Hovis and Plowsie are telling you what it's worth, not what optimistic figure you should put it in Autotrader for.

very true

Very good

It might put it at the cheapest but your more likely to sell it in these hard times!!!
Put a little more than expected on it and then when they battle you down it will be a good earner still

if you are thinking about selling your seat cowl on it own please let me know and i would like some pics
