Return Policy? - SV650.org

21-12-05, 10:58 PM

Quite stupidly i decided a few weeks ago that i would part exchange my SV650S for a Honda Varadero 125 as i live in the city and wanted something smaller to gain some road experience. I picked up the Honda Varadero brand new from a Honda dealer and realised immediately that it does not have enough power for me and i should have stuck with the SV. Is there anyway i can return the bike or am i stuck with it?

Erm, no.

I'm pretty damn sure they won't.

I mean, you've already racked up some miles on it, no doubt wear and tear on a few bits and bobs and cosmetics as well. Plus it's been registered which will have decreased its value anyway.

So, no....they won't take it back unless theere's something seriously wrong with it.

They will however, possibly make you an offer to buy it back. But prepare to take it on the chin as it'll be about £500+ less than what you paid for it!

Unlucky.

Did they tell you how much your SV had gone up by in the same period :P

perhaps try a private sale of the 125cc & look into another 650, weather it be your sv or something else

£1000, I doubt it's that much. How much did you pay for the varadero?

The vara 125 is actually one of the few 125's that keep their value reasonably well, good strong engines and quicker than most 4t 125's. All depends on how much you bought it for really.

Wanting to sell is never a good thing at this time of the year. Wait until spring if you possibly can, lots of fresh n00bs buying bikes then.
