Re: Where to sell a K3 SV1000N
I have no idea of the relative merits and demerits of SV650 vs SV1000 - I was the tightwad looking for a bargain (as I always am to add to my bike collection). If mark h got 2 grand for his bike then he did well, I’ve just watched this nice bike sell at £1500:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F202615798714 I think I’ll look for a SV1000 at the end of the summer when I’ve finished my bike garage project (and can fit another 3 or 4 bikes in), I doubt that I’ll have to pay much over a grand (which is fine - maybe less). Cheap bikes are such fun. Alan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Where to sell a K3 SV1000N
Got replaced - for cosmetic purposes. I'm a fickle f*cker. A revalve would have them outperforming any GSXR forks of that era, easily.
Look, you own a 650, I guess - your butthurt is clear.

Re: Where to sell a K3 SV1000N
You can have the forks for £900, the rest you can have for an additional £2000. How's that?

It's this simple: The thou is superior to the six'fiddy. In every conceivable way. It's even cheaper to insure!

The 650 and the 1000 are both cheap and cheerful bikes within their own market sectors, that is all. |

Re: Where to sell a K3 SV1000N
Thou is much much better than the 650 in every way. I've had both. Anyone who recons it's too lumbering needs to learn how to corner correctly. Oh and take the steering damper off.
Had my thou for 12 years. Loved it. The only reason I got rid was I needed something with better luggage and pillion provision so got myself a multistrada which is a whole different kettle of ball games although I'm sure Othen can get one of those for a tenner too. Most 650 riders have never actually ridden a Thou in anger so use their google-fu as the basis of unfounded fact.
