Looking to possibly buy an SV650S , but engine codes do no match.

W Reg (2000)

The bike a few mods to such as

Full Fairings, Twin Renegade exhuast , small indictors , coloured screen.

id say thats quite high price even with some mods. There are plenty of bikes mate out there like discussed earlier.

Be strong, walk away form this one, within a few weeks another will turn up better price and no mis leading numbers.

its not cheap.......

I have checked the engine codes and they tally with what’s on the V5 form the owner appeared to have made an error with the number he provided.

I managed to get the price down to £1350.



What would you say would be a reasonable price? For this bike before I hand over the cash?

be honest. Whats the condition of the bike?

its not a bad price, but its not a bargin........ if you are happy with the engine numbers go for it,

whats the condition like?

this time of year i would only want to give a grand....... depending on condition

Condition is pretty much excellent aphetically, there does appear to be an oil leak which i believe is coming from the sump drain but cannot confirm (sump washer may sort this).

The brakes appear to need some work , currently suffering a no bite problem.

Have you bought it?

- Doh just read all the above posts.

No it was a DVLA typo i belive, what I was quite suprised about is that the database didn't self populate the fields correctly.
