Newbie says Hi!

aardvarks is a good place. I bought my R1 there for a pretty good price and the bloke seems very straightforward and just a keen biker really. Happy hunting. I will see my mate in the next week or so at work so will ask him and the all important question of price.

On the upside its ultra reliable and to date other than 2 rectifiers, never let me down and im gonn miss her when i have to start commuting by train

Cool, thanks for the clarity... Its nice to know that they do over 30k and so me looking at ones that are on 25k is not too stupid!

It'll do whey more than that. RandyO in the US, has well over 140,000 miles on his SV!!

Pleanty on here over the 50k as well. You just have to look after them.

Hi everyone, I just thought I would say hi again now that I have finally put a deposit down on an SV! I am so excited, I really can't wait to pick it up!

I look forward to meeting up with you sometime in the near, and please excuse the stupid questions I am bound to start coming out with...

deposit? Where and what mate? I hope it's the faster colour...

Down at Aardvark in Hailsham. Its a naked blue K3...

Ow do n Welcome, nice looking velocopede you got there.

that looks very much like my old sv!!! I put the renthalls on, the black mirrors, k+n filter, carbob can company exhaust and gixxer thou rear shock. How much did you pay for it? It's done a lot of miles but still a good bike I expect.

Cool, I paid 1995 for it, it looks in good nick, and goes well. The mileage was a slight concern, but it looks like it has been well cared for, so I thought I would give it a go... lease don't tell me any horror stories now!

1st service done by dealer, I changed oil and filter every 4,000 miles, valve clearances were done around 2k miles ago I think (bloke I sold it to did 'em). I used it to do a 30 mile commute twice a day so all good long runs really.

Only let me down once and that was an ht lead.(You'll find there's an extra one as it was simpler to run another one in than replace the dodgy one).

You'll have to bring her over to me so I can catch up with the old girl
