Advice on new bike

Bit expensive but it has got a lot of things as well. I did get some gear from them when I first started biking and they were nice and friendly people!

Up to you but that one on here is cracking deal.

It's got a lot of stuff you'd put on the bike anyway. But the can may affect your insurance, and the mesh finish on it is a bit odd. Make sure they've got the original can and pillion seat. Still needs a hugger and possibly a tail tidy. Got crash bungs which are a bonus.

Do you like the colour?

I do like the colour but want to see one before i spend my pennies. I wanted a black one to start with but having seen one in a shop wasn't too impressed. However the candy blue looks better in the flesh than on photos. I can understand what YC and others have to say I would be gutted to drop any bike especially one I've spent a load a money on!

Can get a brand new one for about £600 more.

If you've got the money then spend it, first bike or not. Loads get SVs are first bikes brand new.

Thanks for the advice just liked the look of this one especially the colour but felt it might be £200-£300 too much. Don't really want a new one because it'll loose loads a money. Won't it???

oi, theres nowt wrong with yeller, might not be the right shape SV but its better value than the stealer price. I would have a peep in the for sale section on our humble site, and see what people are selling. Most people on here are honest and won't sell a donkey, unless they tell you it is!
I bought one of my SV's last year from a member on here, travelled 200 miles for it, and wasn't disappointed, and to be fair it has been most loyal and never let me down,,, which can't be said about the one I bought off my better half, for more money...grrrrr ...lol

Ok so if you or any friends have a yellow bike SORRY just not my taste still very tempting though. It wouldn't bother me buying privately and it is good value!!!

When you see that ghey, pale blue one in the flesh (I know the ad says silver but, believe me, it's not) you'll thank me.

And you'd have a LOT of spare cash to respray it if that's what you wanted.

Your right loads a spare money. Haven't seen the silver/blue one and the trouble is its about 4 hours drive away! Not one like it in any nearer dealer either. Perhaps I'll go for the bright Candy blue one instead!!!
