Selling my 2002 Curvey 650S

REDUCED TO £1250.00 AS I HAVE FOUND SOMETHING ELSE I WANT TO BUY!!!

* Suzuki SV650S
* Registered 20/04/2002 so an '02' Reg
* 5965 miles (may go up a tad)
* 3 owners total
* Candy Blue
* MOT to September 2011, tax to February 2012
* HPI Check Clear (checked before purchase and no change since!)
* Blue Flame Exhaust (legal and e-marked, original comes with bike too)

I have owned this bike just over 2 years and have only done around 500 miles as it hurts my back. I purchased a more suitable bike soon after but couldn't bring myself to sell this one. A bit of time riding over Easter has reminded me about my back issues and it is the right time of year to sell if I am going to do so.

The bike comes with a good bit of history to back-up the mileage (including all but one old MOT certificate) and runs/rides perfectly. There are a few little cosmetics but in fairness it is very nice for a 2002 bike. The front forks are a little corroded externally, the grab handle has been damaged at some point, there is a scratch/dent on the right side of the tank caused by a bicycle falling on it and the engine casings have some surface rust/bubbling. I have tried to show these things in the photos added. That aside there is nothing worth noting.

There are no stories, please e-mail me for further details and to arrange a viewing. I work shifts so be patient if I don't answer immediately. If you are looking for one of these popular and fun machines you will not be disappointed by this example.

A shameless bump but also an invite to comment.

Maybe I'm just too dear to start with? Have advertised it in several places with little interest so far; seems odd when arguably lesser examples are being bid to similar prices on e-Bay and still not meeting reserve.

Anyhow, still for sale and the sale price won't be a reason for falling out as the bike really needs to go due to my back problem.

If anyone can hold my hand regarding how to put pics here I would much appreciate that too???

Hi Bud - Sounds like you're inviting comments? If so, and if I were you, I'd drop the price and stick to £1500 firm (no negotiations) and stick the original exhaust on it. Sell the cowl and fancy exhaust seperately to make up for any defecit.

can't comment on price, but here is a guide for photos which worked for me

Instigator, thanks for your comments, yes I'm more than happy to hear them. I am off 5 days over next weekend so see how it goes.

ImplodedHamster, many thanks for the link but also a big thanks to G who took control and put my photos up from Pistonheads before I got the chance!

The bike is very much for sale, I have now found a Gladius which stirs my interest so if anyone really is after a decent Curvey please get in touch.

Price should not be the issue, I am willing to discuss serious offers.

Well, I know it's only been a few days but there seems to be little interest so I can only surmise that I'm asking too much!

With that in mind (and the fact that I now have my eye on another bike for which my Mrs will be deeply unhappy...) I am reducing my asking price to £1500.00.

This must be something of a bargain for a new rider?

Hi.

I'm interested in the bike, also very suprised that no one else is??

Where abouts are you located?

Cheers

Price Reduced, See Below

Shameless bump for the weekend.

I have now found 3 bikes which interest me (a Gladius, a 2008 SVn and a 2002 SVn) and need to make a quick sale IF I am going for the Gladius, which I am leaning towards. The other two are cheaper so not so desperate to sell mine but space would be handy!

I am asking only £1250.00 which really grates when I see what's out there but someone is going to get a cracking bike at my expense; I just need to bargain harder on my purchase!

Any thoughts? Am I mad?
