Re: Anyone on here know this bike?
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?

Re: Anyone on here know this bike?
If it's a '99 model, shouldn't it have black wheels?
And for only 1700 miles that downpipe is certainly minging!

Re: Anyone on here know this bike?
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. |

Re: Anyone on here know this bike?
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.

Re: Anyone on here know this bike?
More like 17000 miles perhaps he missed off the other zero!!! Or even left it attached to a drill for the night or two
