Default First Bike

Hi All

Looking at getting an SV650s first bike! Seen this and was wondering what people thought a fair price would be? Looks in great condition as well

2008
7000m

R&G tail tidy
R&G radiator protector
Scorpion slip-on exhaust
Zero Gravity double bubble screen
Black rear hugger and chain guard

Full service history

A fair price would be whatever you're happy to pay.
Impossible to give accurate valuations on such scant information.
The accessories add nothing to price, if anything they de-value it.
Personally I wouldn't give 50p for it because it doesn't have ABS brakes.


You'll get a half decent idea by looking at sold listings on eBay.

You don't need ABS right up until the second you do.
At which point it's too late to get it.

Very hard to find a faired Sv with ABS though?
Not even come across one yet!

Never on sale in the UK but they do exist elsewhere.
Why would you want a fairing?
If you want protection from windblast, drive a car.

I prefer the look with the fairing that's all!

So would have to import one over?

Maybe the op just prefers the look of the faired bike?
As for abs, I’ve never had a bike with abs and in th 20+ years I’ve been riding I’ve never thought I could do with abs either.

So as per normal everyone is different and wants different things from a bike

Bernetini- did you buy that Sv in the end?

Yes, if you want the faired SV650S ABS you would need to import one.
Which can be a right pain.

Or do without ABS and hope you never need it.

Other Suzuki options might be a Bandit650S or GSX650F ABS, but maybe a bit big and heavy for a first bike imo.

Or for a (cracking) first bike with a faired sporty look, howsabout a Yamaha R3...?
A while back I had one as a loaner for a week and a half and very nearly bought it.
