Default Just testing te water, SOLD

I took collection of this bike approx 2/3 months ago, Paid £3300, it was a bit of an impulse buy as i had money from righting off my previous bike last summer, so with the spring looming i bought the SV, then lo and behold it snowed for 3 weeks and put played to my plans of getting back in the saddle lol!
Unfortunately both my knees are shot to bits from playing rugby, plus another operation is on the horizon.
The riding position is a tad extreme for anything longer than 50 miles, really i should've gone down the naked route but being 6'3" there's not alot out there to suit me, apart from the Tuono (Already got told by the other half i wasn't allowed one of those) So the next best thing is a supermoto, also in the hope it'll slow me down and hopefully hold on to my license a bit longer.

Thats enough about me, i'll get onto the bike.

Good points:
Low mileage: 7800
Pulls like a train.
Great paint job, gets loads of comments.
The cans.....need to be heard, even Ducati owners have complimented me on these, they sound awesome, especially on the over run.
Had a "Hyper-pro" rear suspension put on it rather than the standard one, unfortunately i wouldn't know the difference between the two as i dont ride it that hard, more of a straight line warrior, but it does feel remarkably balanced in the twisties.
The old brake calipers had the preverbial "salt herpes" I stripped these down, replaced all pistons and seals and had them powder coated in a dark electric blue, sets them off really well.
Goodrich braided hoses.
Tail tidy, rear indies are flush mounted on the rear tail piece.
Rear seat cowel.

Bad points:
Few stone chips on the rear plastics, nothing too bad.
Rear tyre has about 1000 miles left on it, i do have a brand new Pirrelli Diablo waiting to be fitted, this will then match up to the front tyre.
Tax expires 28th of this month but i've got it booked in, so it'll come with a full MOT.

I can't think of anything else that's wrong with it, i'm sure a wouldbe buyer could find something wrong though ;o)

I'm in no hurry to sell, if anyones interested or know of anyone in the market for a Thou, then send them my way please.

Situated in Chippenham, Wiltshire.

All sensible offers considered.

Cheers
Cuffy

Default Re: Just testing te water,

Already hadsome Polish fella asking if i'd ship it to Warsaw, someone else offer me £2500 and another offer me a Z750, still waiting for him to get back.
The biggest problem is finding an MOT tester whos "mutton" as my usual place has failed it because of the cans
