Curvies seem to be holding their value then.

Seems expensive, especially as the mismatched plastics say to me that its been down the road. What are the consumables like? C/S and tyres? If they're new and its just had a full service then i guess its not a bad buy.

Have you looked at the price of curveys atm? It seems as though it's pointies are loosing money hand over fist.
I have been looking since I had my accident & you will be lucky to find a "CHEAP" Curvey.

To be honest a six year old bike that's bought mainly by newly qualified riders, I'd say you'd be hard put to find one that hasn't been down the road.

Another odd but nice touch is that it appears to have had the rear joint section repainted in blue.

Plus I don't think that they are Suzuki colours looking at them & they have gone to the trouble of having the decals colour matched which is a nice touch

Glad to hear you have rescued that bike from it's previous tasteless owners. Please rectify style crimes forthwith.

Hmm, can't say I really like it, sort of a court-jestery colour scheme. Hope it's at least mechanically spot on- if it is the price seems okay, although not particularly cheap (imo).

Mine hadn't until i parked it in the side of a van.

Also i have noticed the silly money that some people have been asking for curveys. Makes me laugh what some people will pay.
