Just bid on it, just wondering if it is anyone on here or if anyone knows whose it is?

Have you been to look at it or spoken to the seller?No feedback.May be fine but I'd want to know why it has no mileage on it and where it had been.Has it ever been serviced,or has the oil in the sump turned to tar?

If it's a '99 model, shouldn't it have black wheels?

And for only 1700 miles that downpipe is certainly minging!

I know i've just thought that after i bit lol. Is a bit shifty 1700 miles i know, if i win it i may keep mine tho and use that 1 as a spares donation!

Garaged from new, "Fabulous condition", only done 1700 miles and the downpipe is brown. I think that even if the mileage is true, it certainly hasn't been that well looked after. Looks like no mot or tax and those lowers are possibly the worst colour match ever too

Be careful, I don't think it's worth much more (if any) than the current bid.

Having had another look, it seems as if the lowers are the right blue for the year, but the rest of the paintwork looks like the Candy Grand Blue, which is definitely not right for a '99 bike. It may just be the light in the pic of course, but I'm a suspicious character. And I still think the wheels are the wrong colour for the year too. I'm almost certain the early SV's had black wheels.

THought you were saving up for a pointy?
what's the point of having 2 crap bikes?

only joking

downpipe looks okay to me
if its been out in the rain once and garaged wet it'd go that colour!
