Am still looking for my first SV and have looked at some real rubbish.

However, I've been offered a 99 naked with 12k on the clocks.

Problem is it's been stored outside so the cosmetics are rubbish.

That's the first problem.

Second one is that it's been lowered to accommodate the 4ft 11" lady rider. Not sure what's been done to it but at a foot taller than her I'd need to reverse the process. Any ideas?

Also, how much is too much to pay for this? She's asking £1100 but I'd reckon it's worth £7-800 even with it's new MOT, carb clean and caliper service?

All comments welcome.
