Re: Was this SV sold too cheap?
bargain if it really has been serviced and looked after as much as they say it has

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.

Re: Was this SV sold too cheap?
My K3 is at 40K now, and still going strong! With plenty of love and attention, that bike looks like a monster bargain at £600, seeing as £500 usually gets you a rusty winter hack.

Re: Was this SV sold too cheap?
Bargain. It could blow up tomorrow and need a new engine and it would still be cheap.
Oh wait it's pointy, nah someone got screwed!

Re: Was this SV sold too cheap?
For that price running well, and with the claimed servicing, I would have been interested for a cheap run around

Re: Was this SV sold too cheap?
With that milage, I guess its spent most of its life on the motorway, so hardly any stress on the engine, lots of constant speed running
I'd have bought it for £600. If it blew up, I'd have flogged the bits, but I bet it good for a lot more miles
