When to sell my SV1000 now or spring?

Anyway, like you say, it's your choice. If it worries your other half that much then you need to decide what's best for your family.

As for selling it, pick a price and advertise it for that. SV1000 aren't all that common, so I doubt it would have as much effect being winter as on a GSXR600 or CBR600RR or the like. If you can afford to wait then eventually you'll get the price you want.

Can she cook?

i would advertise it now, for what you want for it,

Just show her the insurance policy and how many pairs of shoes she could afford on her own

Or tell the other half you intend to take up landmine clearing as an alternative to biking.

I would agree on this occasion...lol


I'm not sure you'll sell at the mo. I've had a couple of mates trying to sell different sorts of bikes recently and thy can't get rid, lots of people want to sell, but not a lot of people can afford to buy. lots of ebay bikes not meeting their reserve too

Very difficult to sell at the moment from what I've seen, so your decision may be taken out of your hands - may as well keep riding it while you've got it

But if she does go (the bike, not the wife!)...how about a caterham/westfield/etc to replace it? If I had to go bike-less I think I'd look to try one of those for their bike-like properties...

Of course, it will cost you more than the SV1000, but that isn't a problem, if the wife wants you to sell the bike she has to put up with these things

Done my IAM, am an IAM observer so pretty much as safe as I can be short of not riding the bike so the only option left is to not ride the bike At least for a few years then go get a blade or something with all the brownie points I'll have saved up while getting in her way at weekends.
