Missed that..
All depends on your budget and which style of SV you prefer Curvy ('99-02, Carbs) on the left or Pointy ('03 onwards, Fuel Injection) on the right
There'll always be banter between owners (as that pic suggests)
Then decide if you prefer the S version (clip ons and bikini fairing at least) or the naked (more upright riding position and no fairing)
Have a look at different bikes, don't buy the first one you see without looking at others. Should be able to pick up a decent curvy for about £1600, pointy will be more (being newer an' all that), nice one probably starting at ~£2200
Look for tasteful mods such as an aftermarket can and tail tidies etc, as they don't add any resale value, but you'll probably end up doing them if you buy a completely standard bike
Have a look on eBay and the
For Sale section on here. You get the occasional crazy bargain on here. IIRC a K6 recently was sold for £1800!
