Hi Guy's SV650 on the way

Wow I havn't been on here for ages!
vardypeeps - Rob Vardy checking in, I used to own the brown Red Bull curvy that has a few pictures kicking about somewhere.

I'm just about to get back in to all things SV again hopefully with a blue SV650 2004 (pointy).

Just wondering if there are any main things to check/look out for on a the bike above that I'm going to look at soon?

Any advice?

Cheers,
Rob

welcome back buddy, long time

what miles spec, price etc you looking at for the pointy?

I was going to post a biktrader link but works internet is going mental!

It's a 2004 registered late 2005 and it's done just over 14000 miles.

No obvious damage to fairings, exhaust & engine casings? Anything else?

Go to the forum page and 'new thread' button at the top of the page of that forum.

If its about an Sv, then stick to the Sv tuning & tweaking section,

You'll get the hang of it soon

cheers for that

Nice bike, looks mint. Keep an eye of on ebay for a set of fairing lowers.

All that bike for a snippet under £2000. There is no wonder these bikes are so popular!

Worth noting the first "big" service is at 15000miles, if its got fsh then they may have been hoping to dodge this service (knowing there is a fault) obviously could be that this service has already been done but its defo worth asking about.

If you're interested, mines still available:

As is listed in there with the addition of a spare chain and sprocket kit, and some pazzo style blue levers (plus originals).
Im only the other side of baliff bridge to you so your free to inspect it at somepoint over christmas if you want.
I can tell you before you read it though, mines a CAT D, honestly there is feck all wrong with it but the recorded damage does seem to put a few people off, but thats the reason the price is only 2K to hopefully change their minds

If you stretch the extra £500 buy Owen's bike. That has had some sensible mods done to it, and the fact that it has the fairing lowers will save you a fortune.
