Default What kind of SV650 is this?

I am a total noob to these bikes, so if my question has been answered already, please point me out in the right direction and I will delete this thread.

Is it simply a sv650 without the fairing and a different headlight? Where can I get a headlight like that? It's similar to the SFV650 Gladius, but it's not that bike either.

Aye its not a standard headlight. looks like a pointy SV (03-present) the nakid version. Custom paint job. Not sure they did a nakid one with a stripe down it.

The Duel Spark head has it down as on 07/08 onward SV650.

The clip-ons suggest it's either a "fightered" S model, or a nekkid that's had some work done.

Looks like a fairly recent SV650S or SV650 Sport that has been crashed and rebuilt as a naked model. That's what Jambo means by "Fightered". Not all streetfightered bikes have been crashed, sometimes it's just preference, but you'd have to be suspicious about whether or not it had been.

I'm sure the owner of that bike has posted on the site, he/she is Australian IIRC.

Paint job to look like white 2010 model but has had small side panel (that has to be removed to get drivers seat off) also painted white.
Front mudgard is Black but 08 black generaly had red seats.
Bike is likely to be 05 to 07 as does not have the black anodised lower forks of 09 onwards.
Yes, it had lots of work done!
