2005 Sporty Bronze SV650S K3, 26k miles, London

[kolu]

For sale SV650 S K3 (first year of second generation production). Rather unique colour scheme (Burning Copper Metallic). I have bought this bike almost 2 years ago from Superbikefactory at the first peak of the pandemic and had it delivered. It had most of the scratches and the bent tank on the left side at that time but I must admit to adding a bit more on the right side (I suck at riding in wet and especially over metal objects). Not high speed (about 10 mph) but still enough to get some more paintwork damage.

I was riding the bike daily for 10 mile commute, added almost 19k miles on it over the 2 years but I am looking for something a bit more comfortable and upright as my girlfriend constantly complains that she wants to get out with me but riding that bike is not comfy for her.
I have done all the regular maintenance myself over the last 2 years.
The bike had new oil (Silkolene Comp4 10W40), filter (Hiflo) and air filter (Hiflo) at 26k miles, Throttle bodies and STP synced as well. Brakes rebuilt this winter (new pistons, seals, brake hoses, rebuilt master cylinder). Metzeler Roadtec 01 tyres (front in great shape, rear is getting a bit squared in the middle due to the nature of my really boring straight-line commute). I had 0 issues with the bike so far all year round.

Accessories:
- heated grips
- Accossato raised clip-ons
- shorter, adjustable brake&clutch levers
- SV1000 fully adjustable rear shock (stock shock sucks)
- YSS fork cartridge emulators
- HEL Stainless braided brake lines
- internal gear shifting from K6-later models (smooth and precise)
- LED indicators
- Delkevic 350mm end can
- Hugger and extended front fender
- mirrors from Bandit (reach bit longer than stock)
- built-in Meta M357TV2 alarm/immobiliser
- JT stock front and 47 (+3) teeth sprockets (more torque), DID gold plated chain mounted around 18k miles
- phone mount on the left handlebar, really sturdy one
- MOT valid until 30 March 2023
- TRE (timing retard eliminator) mod
- 2 keys and V5C

£1600 would be nice for the bike
