Guys and Girls...
In a few weeks the whole reason for me buying my SV will be over - I will have completed my Police Bike Course, and so will be letting go of my beloved SV. I am a Traffic Cop in London, and bought the SV from "The Motorbike Shop" in North Camp, Farnborough. It was a 1 owner from new immaculate example. During my ownership, the bike has been cherished and cleaned, serviced, meticulously looked after and treated as a god, as you would expect. Part of my job is to keep vehicles, both cars and bikes, in tip top condition, and by virtue of what I do, I can assure you the bike is faultless and pristine. Therefore viewings and questions are essential to appreciate the bike and to appreciate it's history. At the end of the day, there are loads of SV's for sale out there, as there will always be. I think the SK5 with its black frame + wheels, pointy faring and overall ridablilty is one of the best bikes out there today. I have kept mine tip top, and I hope this will be recognised by any true buyer. I would love to hear from anyone interested in a bike of this history. -SV650S - Blue - 2005 - 19k -FSH - Recently Serviced - No work needed -Run on Super Unleaded Only -Garaged and kept dry through ownership -Regularly checked Petrol / Oil / Water / Electrics / Rubber -New rear tyre Here are some pics of it taken recently. I will take some fresh ones soon. Please PM if interested. This will go on Auto Trader at the end of May. ![]() ![]() |

Yes, realised I had missed that bit.
TBH, I have no set price. I know what I paid for it in August 09 (£3450) and I don't expect anything like that as I am a 2nd owner and the bike is now 7 months older. That said, the bike speaks for itself - as does it's history and maintenance. Autotrader have decent SK5's ranging between up to £3250. However, I don't need or want top dollar. All I want is an honest buyer. A buyer who knows what they are looking for however may be prepared to pay for that extra piece of mind. Offers are welcome whatever they may be. I offer it here for a month first on purpose as a member of the org. should have first dibs... I am confident about the bike and it will sell - so grab your chance now! |

One of the rules of the for sale section is that " Items must be offered for sale for a specified amount" - so it might be worth sticking up a price before the mods find out ![]()

Thx for both replies...
I see the thread has been looked at so I presume potential buyers peruse at will. My bike course starts 10 May and lasts 3 weeks. What I wanted to do, but will still do, is take some pics of it at the garage. I am blessed that I work in the environment to keep it tip-top ; we have all manner of facilities and materials there which we contribute to make use of, not least of which a top of the range diesel powered Karcher Pressure wash as well as undercover storage. In line with the policy of the forum, I will state a price, and I base it fairly on having trawled Auto Trader for identical bikes. Narrowing down the search I find an SK5 here for £3495 - IMHO, well over priced.... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi.../sk5?logcode=p Looking at whats available, just over £3k seems the price the decent bikes are commadning. Therefore I offer mine at a price of £2999. I think this is a fantastic offer bearing in mind the price of the others available, the quality of bike and the fact that prices of 2nd hand bikes are rising. I will watch the thread, and at the end of May will move to Bike Trader... |

Meant to add - I have an aftermarket exhaust which is around 18 months old, a Fuel exhaust. The bike sounds sublime and spits, pops and bangs beautifully. Also have mushrooms either side.
