Default Kwaks new SV thou?

Found this on ebay.

Thought it fitted in with the Kwak part of his name, as they are traditionally green.

Dunno about having green neon lights and green dial faces too.

nice colour, but think the details on it in places are personal to the current owner....Chinese writing could mean owt( reminds me of tattoo parlour syndrome, with eeijjits wandering roud with tats they think means something else)
Its a lovely example...but 5000 quid......dream on lad!!

Nice colour and seems to suit the SV1000, very OTT on the price though!!!

I gave up looking when I read (or tried to read) the description. Is he selling the bike to fund a new keyboard with full stop and comma keys?

Btw, the colour is ****

Yes thanks.

The SV1000, for the right money (not the £5k this knodber is asking) is a great bike.

Highly underated, but very capable.

The mistake many people make is thinking it is a SV650 with a bigger engine, they then ride it but are disappointed because 'it doesn't handle like a SV650'.

HTH

Yes, late registration. If you have a brand new unregistered Curvy SV650 laying around at a dealers you can get it registered as an 08 plate, only gets age related plate if it has been previously registered in the UK or abroad.

Its a good bike but it could have been made a lot better so easily at the factory, Suzuki were scared of there TL reputation coming back (a reputation not deserved).
