four year old and only 13k on it.....don't ride it much then.

used to use it to commute, work is now 5 min walk + have car now. pussy weekend rider now :P

what mileage is your 2001 now dizzy

[dizzyblonde]

24 ish. Was off road for nearly two years until the rebuild was successful, and previously for six months when my ex had it.

Last year in the six months she was on the road I put around 3k on it. This year will be practically zilch as I'm pregnant.
There are many people who put a lot more miles on a bike, as we all do different things. I'm not one of them.

The 2000 reg one has around 33k, it started with 26k when I bought it three years ago.

proves the build on those engines btw congrats on the baby

hey theres SVs out there with more miles on than mine hun. Even mine are considered to be mediocre in the mileage stakes.

And thanks

The SV engines are tough. Mine's knocking onto 50k and it's not had an easy life. Couple on here have done 60k, another couple have made it to 100+k

Mine had 8k on it when i bought it last year, as a 7 year old bike. shockingly low. Its now and and has 18k on it!

hmm might even keep mine till she dies theres nothing ive riden that makes me think yeah this is it might have to treat bike to some mods maybe

I dunno, a lot of it is you get used to your own. If you'd had say the FZ6 for all that time you'd think high revving engines were where it's at and think "what's the fuss about the SV, it's got no top end" or similar.
