Default Re: Was this SV sold too cheap?

It depends.
Modern bikes last so long if even the most basic of maintenance is carried out, but there is a still a strange concept of 'high miles', several times on this forum people have voiced the opinion that bikes with significantly lower than the 70,000 that that bike has covered is too high.
Understanding this, then at that kind of mileage finding a buyer at all, at any price, could be considered fortunate.
Personally I suspect that's been a bargain for some lucky buyer.
