Default What's it worth?

I'm currently interested in a naked SV650 but a little worried about the high mileage - it's a '99 T reg with 36k in the clock and apparently needing a new clutch. Do you think ?1k is too much for this?

You don't need to worry about high mileage SV's.

Phew! My K6 has almost the same mileage as the OP!

I'd say just under a grand. Sort the clutch out & you could get more, but that's only really going to be worth it if you can do most of the donkey work yourself.

Thanks guys, it's a bike I'm looking to buy rather than sell. I thought the £1k tag may be a bit high, especially with it needing a new clutch... we'll see what happens.

I sold my K1 a while ago. 36K miles with FSH a good load of extras ( can, screen, undertay, sctoiler, alarm, hugger ) with 12 months MOT and 6 months tax. It went for the asking price of ?800 so I agree with the others ?1K is probably a bit high.

Too much.Its not in full working order so it is a "fixer upper".Price it accordingly as you cant take it for a test ride to see what else needs doing.I would say less than ?500 depending on what the rest of it looks like.

That's not a high milage bike But, be wary of buying it with a problem- that's not a lot of miles for the clutch to be toast. If it's an easy fix as the seller will say, then he can get it fixed easily.
