Good point - thanks for the heads-up.

Here's the guts of a PM I sent to someone else looking at this:

I've been mainly running around on the SV since May, so mileage / condition is all pretty much as was in the last listing.

Mileage - I'll double check, but it's in the 47,000 - 48,000 region.

Service-wise, it hasn't been done recently, purely due to lack of use but I'd happily treat it to an oil change before it leaves the garage. Being honest it would certainly benefit from a service, but up till now everything has been done as required, and there's nothing actually in need of attention.

Tyres - rear is fine, less than 1,000 miles on it, but it needs a new front. If you were hoping to ride it away I could help arrange something with the wee local garage down the road to fit a new one for you in advance.

You're fellow Orgers, and I'll give you the full warts n all details.

It's 10/11 years old and has done around 4,000 miles a year since new. There's a few wee marks here and there, but on the whole it's in great nick.

Things I'd be doing if I was keeping it would be to bung it through a good service, replace the front tyre and look into the front brake which is uber powerful but has a slight shudder.

I had toyed with getting all this stuff done and slapping a price tag of £2,700+ ish on it but in the end I don't have the time nor luxury of spare cash lying around to do it right now.

Long story short, I'm needing a) a bit of spare cash to sort out the tax bill and b) longer term a more bigger mileage type bike for a new job I'm doing.

If I've missed anything, or you wanna ask anything else - fire away. Ill be (as I'm sure you'll already have noticed) gutted to see this go but needs must,

Cheers
JM
