Yellow '04 black frame.
 
Hi all, new here and don't yet have a full licence. Working on that at the moment and hopefully be all done by Christmas. Just in time to buy a second hand 04 yellow sv650s with the black frame...except there aren't any! There is one on autotrader, one I tell thee. One !!!

Whats going on, was this a rare model or something? I've tried searching here but can't find anything about it. The yellow and black look is awesome, can anyone shed some light please!

Cheers
fatneck

I used to have a Yellow K4. And you are right the Black frames didint come in until the K5's. He has either powdercoated a K4 frame or put Yellow K4 bodywork onto a K5 frame. Just make sure it is changed on the V5 if this is the case. Could also point to a Cat c/d bike which is no bad thing. Just check it over.... Oh and welcome to the forum! :-)

K4 (2004) bikes have a silver frame. K5 ('05) onwards have the black.

By all means check it out before you buy it but dont be afraid to ask the guy questions and check all the paperwork, chassis numbers, engine numbers.

Thanks all, very helpful indeed. I'm going to wait until I have the licence, couldn't have that sat in the garage and ahem not errr 'test it out officer'...I reckon Suzuki have missed a trick not having that colour scheme over here.

Unless of course there is a better 600cc ish sporty (but not supers sports) sexy bike available. I can't really think of one!

Cheers again.
