What's it worth? *** updated *** - SV650.org

06-03-05, 07:40 PM

Blue SV650, naked one.. 15k miles, years tax/MOT, pretty standard, scuffs on both sides of seat unit, looks like it's been dropped both sides, but not in tooo bad condition.... any idea on it's worth?

Thanks.

Depends on the year and how bad the damage is - assuming it is pre K3, I would think somewhere between £1500 and £2000 - depends on whether you are buying or selling

2000 K1 and I'm buying, not selling.

Damage is just a small scratch on seat fairing from what I can see.

Extras; twin headlights (don't like them really) and looks like renthal gold bars on there too (nice!)

Renthals sound good - check for wheelie abuse (wheel bearings / head bearings etc) and bid them a cheeky £1500.

Thanks, I've offered £1500 already and he's accepted.. looking to knock down to £1400 due to scuffs etc, but wanted a second opinion as I didn't want to take the **** with that price, but if it sounds an okay price then I'll see how it goes tomorow!

Wish me luck! Might be an SV owner tomorow

Oh it has new tyres too!

Just had a look on MCN.

Cheapest at the moment is a W plate 4500 miles for £2150 (private) or a T plate 14000m £2199 (dealer)

£1500 seems a good price, but worth trying to get a bit more discount - £100 will pay for a new set of springs for the front / tidying up the rear / a cheap end can etc.

So what is going - the R6 or the 400 (or are you keeping both?)

I don't have either any more.. sold the R6 to buy a KTM 450 Supermoto, sold the WR to buy a car/driving lessons but not going to pass test for a while and need transport now, hence buying the SV

I've always liked the SV though, and I love v-twins but can't justify a VTR firestorm for commuting/messing about on

so I'm going for this SV.. I think they are nice bikes, never ridden one though so might change my mind if it's crap to ride

Here's my KTM

kin nice

The SV's are not holdin value. I am finding CB500's from 1997 which are going at the same price (£1500~)!

Even a 1995 Yamaha Virago 250 goes for £1395.

Not sure why this is.
