Insurance "Claim" - Dilemma

That was what got me interested. Obviously even "Only" 90hp is enuf in the real world. But more (spare?!) is always good in my book. And I am thinking if the SV650 V twin engine feels fun......the 1000 must be grrrrrreat, and with around 120hp (plus or minus) not really a slow litre bike......and the noise?



I am imagining it in black.....(and a better pic than supplied by Granby!). The Naked is tempting. But not nearly as much as the S

I am guessing that if Granby have a couple on their shelf that probably a few also still around elewhere. Should have realised that 08 plate means not pre-reg! Doh! But surprised that a 2 year old model is still around. Although not overkeen on an old new bike, would I be right in saying that it would be on the usual Suzuki Warranty?

and as I said before GBP5k seems a bit rich for a 2 year old discontinued model, even if "New"............ given the price of the 08 (unfaired) model GBP5,250 (after GBP400 Cashback)......do ya think 4k would be too hopeful?

how ya manage that. İnsurance dont normaly work. n dont get people sendın personal cheques very often. id repaire the bike cheaply then f*ck ıt off. get a litre or a trick supersport 600.

or th gxxxr 750.

thats my opinion

reccomend you try one. still havent had the bottle to open it out in first or second. 3rd... now thats a different story!


here is mine.

I believe the SV1000 is a fair bit down on 120bhp. The original '97 TL1000s engine was 120bhp, but subsequent versions of the engine have been detuned to varying degrees. Admittedly, the SV1000 has considerably more than the (castrated) 83-83bhp version of the lump that appears in the DL1000, but I believe stock bikes are a smidgeon over 100bhp. Still, as you say, more than enough power for most riders' abilities on the road!

Cheque arrived this morning. Wahoo!

Ok, cheque not cleared yet - but "some" parts now on order and at the same time SV booked in for it's first service (at last). Next week or the week after I should have a March 08 SV Sport - with a few scuffs and around £2k burning a hold in me pocket

SV650 - best bike I have ever had (pound wise!).

For some strange reason I was looking at a 650 V-strom - probably the very attractive top box

But fave at the moment is keep the SV (add an Exhaust and maybe some bar risers) - and get one of these!

DI BLASI folding (no sh#t!) 50cc Motorbike Thinking might be small enuf to use on the Yacht (it's only a small Yacht!) for trips to France, plus to pick up the car if (when!) I leave it after a night in the pub (they seem to use 'em on the "Carback" services).........I can persuade myself of anything
