Where did your SV come from!?!? - SV650.org

Hey all! Just though I'd Start a thread to see where you found your SV's!
Mine is a K4 Naked, in candy grand blue. I found on gumtree, private seller- travelled from Birmingham to Hereford for it (not a massive journey), I'm the 3rd owner & it had just under 5000 miles on the clock when I got it so it was pretty much MINT! Had it a little over a year now & I'm extremely pleased with it

I added the seat cowl, belly pan, fly screen & radiator fairings.

Hmm, mine came Ledbury just down the road from Hereford, is someone making them locally like bitcoins or something.

Someone spotted mine for sale at knockhill and told me about it. It was on 2300 miles when I got it from South Queensferry, after paying quite a few deposits because I had trouble getting the money together to buy it. The guy was selling it to buy a boat or jet ski I think. It was mint and completely standard

Mine came from motorcycle universe in Glasgow it turned up on the 4th December. Stayed with me for nearly five years and then went to Avuss in Paisley when my gixer 600 turned and the speeds increased slightly.

I've often wondered where the sv went after Avuss got her.

I found mine in Lings Honda Ipswich. It's a 2008 K7 and had 4000 odd miles on and one owner. It's a local bike but on a Norwich plate. I was going to buy a V Strom but really wanted the SV and it came up at the right moment. That was nearly three years ago and just over 7000 on the clock.

Aren't the SVs built in Canada?

Think mine hails from London if I remember the details correctly. Picked it up from a local dealer after my K9 was written off. It's an L0 and had 8k on the clocks. Had it just over 2 years and nearing 23k on the clock
