New K5 come on down!

Hi Guys,

Very excited today - i finally decided to trade Bertha (Blue 2000 Curvy) in for a Gucci new K5 SVS (Black - naturally).

I went down to George White in Slough who offered me £2600 for mine (Mott Motorcycles in Basingstoke only offered me £2250) so it's costing me £1900 to trade up!

Yay.

Going to get a cat one alarm and a bellypan (not a big fan of lowers but the pan can look ace) as soon as she arrives.

Yay again.

Thats a bloody good trade in price mate. well done.
I bought my 2000 blue curvy privately from a guy for 2.5k about 8 months ago.

Got a good mind to take it up to your guy in a month or two and get back more than i paid for it.

Make sure you put a pic up when you have it

I'm dead happy - although mine has low mileage for the year (5100), it also has a rubbish service history (only one annual service since the 600...) and no tax.

This and the fact that the bike never felt quite right to me - and i suspect it's been down the road as the tank looks a slightly different colour to the plastics (maybe just a dodgy Suzuki paint job though...)

All in all v.happy.

(and black matches me leathers better!)

Sounds like you've had a TOTAL result then.

Shhhhhh, wait till you've got your new bike outside and the keys in your hands.
they might be members of this site you know

Sounds like a good deal - If you can live with the looks of the new shape!

It's always me, me me isnt it?

I've been dreaming about accessorising the new beast with a few OEM parts - namely a hugger, belly pan and seat cowl.

Question is - are these easy to fit or it is worth having the dealer do it?

And the big question is - what has everyone done to tidy up that horrific rear end? I guess people have employed tail tidies - but i have to admit to not knowing what these are, who makes them or where i can get one from...

Any pics would be dapper.

Very, but get the dealer to do it if you buy 'em in with the sale... Also, if you want to smarten the rear end up, get an OEM undertray, but make sure you get a huugger fitted too Otherwise it'll get stone-chipped to hell in no time

A front fender extenda wouldn't go amiss either

Thanks Cloggsy,

I cant find reference to the OEM undertray anywhere on the Suzuki site...?

Any ideas?

I thought that was for the curvy models Cloggsy? If you're sure they do them Cloggsy you don't happen to know how much they are do you as I was going to get the Ermax one but that is not cheap?
