Hi, I've got my CBT next week and will be booking my DAS/Test immediately after.
After having a mate point out a few different middleweight bikes i've really taken a shine to the sv and pretty much have my heart set on buying a 2nd hand pointy in either black or silver.
I've been doing a bit of preemptive window shopping on bike trader / ebay and found a fair few examples, and i'm just after a bit of advice with regards to them... hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by linking to these sales, but I couldn't see anything on the stickys regarding this. Looking to spend around 2.5 - 3k.

This is pretty much exactly what I want: black, fully faired, pillion seat, decent extras and fairly low mileage - only problem is its a good 180 miles from my house in South Manchester and i've no way of transporting it without my license.

This one looks really tidy, and is only round the corner from me. However, it seems a bit pricey for an 03? Also, there don't appear to be any rear indicators and the reg plate is tiny - is this road legal?

Good extras, only a couple of years old, but no lower fairing - how much am I looking at to add one? I would possibly go with a belly pan instead, it looks good with either IMO.

Looks like a really nice example, but £2800 for an 07? That seems very cheap - surely there's something wrong here?
Maybe one or two of the owners are members here?
BTW - I've had a look at Laws' bike and it's awesome, but I don't think i'd fully appreciate the effort that's gone into it with me being a n00b and all. Guildford is also a fair treck away!
Any help much appreciated, I look forward to taking part in this community for rides & whatnot
