Major differences between 1000 & 650
 

Hi,

theres a nice clean K3 1000 in my local dealer, priced at £3999. My insurance company say they want another £205 to cover me for it.

Other than engine size, is there any other advantages of the thou? I'm looking for better braking and a firmer ride.

Also, does £3999 sound good for that? I maybe could get another £200 off the price, but would have to trade in my K3 650 for it.

Whats the milage, condition, etc (and is it a naked) ?

The SV1000 has 4 pot calipers instead of 2 pots like on the 650, so yes it's got better brakes.

It's also got fully adjustable suspension front and back.

Its a 1000S, looks immaculate. I think the mileage is 4K.

One thing that struck me is that it may accommodate my 6'3" frame better than the 650. It just looked a little more 'chunky'.

PM MattSV.

He had a 650 and has now got a thou.

Luckily for you, you get better braking and a firmer ride ;) Forks and shocks are better- properly adjustable cartridge items on the front and a fully adjustable rear shock. Neither is particularily fantastic IMO. Plus you get the same 4-pot calipers as used to be on GSXRs, pretty good, though they're on slightly smaller discs.

As I understand it, the seating position is unchanged between the two machines.

And Scoobs, MattSV had one of those inferior curvey machines, so he won't be able to help :wink:

Don't make me ride all the way up there to bitch slap you J. :wink: :lol:

You might have a CBR now, but you'll still never catch me on my pointy SV 8)

I'll come and pick you up ;)

Good man! :lol: :lol:
