Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick). There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too. |

Newbie
Hey guys,
Excuse my ignorance in posting this in 3 locations I'm new to the forum (hello all) and don't know where stuff goes. I'm currently on the hunt for an SV. I've been in love with them for years and finally find myself in a situation where I can purchase one... that's where my problems start though. Due to the way insurance is in Ireland I have to get a factory restricted model (with certificate) to qualify for insurance I can afford. Its virtually impossible to find one of these bikes in Ireland so I've had to turn to the UK market. Does anyone know of any bikes like this that are for sale. Unfortunately I can only afford to pay £2500 but I'm sure could muster up more if it was the greatest machine yet to grace the planet... which I think SVs are anyways. I'd really appreciate if you guys could help me out. Or even just give me pointers on how to identify the restricted model in adds. I believe there is a U in the model name if its restricted? Cheers, Niall |

Cheers
Ya I need it to be factory restricted. If its restricted my insurance costs €1345 but €2400 if its not, its a joke I'm 21 with full licence for 2yrs and 3yr NCB. I only need the restriction for insurance cost, my licence isn't restricted. The insurance company will only honour the factory restricted model.. sucks

Hi and welcome to the site.
You won't know a restricted model just by looking at it, nor does the model name change if it's restricted. It should say in the ad if it's restricted, if not just ask. |
