Is this a standard colour ?

If you want a standard sv colour then probably best to get a new bike, you should have no problems getting a curvy for under 2k if not 1500,if you buy private.
You are right what you say though was reading an article in MCN today about the sharp increase in new bike prices and european traders coming over to snatch up used stock - mainly due to the exchange rate. On the flip side if you look to chop yours in, that should be better too.

ahh ok its not your bike - your looking to buy it - doh!!

In that case ditto the last post - id personally avoid it like the plague

Thank you all... the low price (about a grand for a year 2000) was blinding me to the colour.

I suppose no matter how cheap, every time I saw a red or yellow one I'd regret buying it.

The search continues...

Yeh can see how you would be tempted for 1000, a respray prob wouldnt cost you anymore than 700, but if you are looking for a standard colour then you are better off with a standard bike.

Best of look with your search.

p.s That bike really does look nasty

I'm getting all my pointy's bodywork repaired and resprayed by a place in Marple (near Stockport) for £350. Candy colours were about £100 more on top.

That price included:
Top fairing
Lowers L&R
Rear tail, L&R
Tank
Front fender
Hugger

why would you do that to a curvy

To put in perspective I bought my 2000 curvy 3 years ago. At that time its was in mint condition, 27k for £1800. Its in similar condition now, is well maintainedwith 33000, but unfortunately I have been lazy finding a replacement for the cracked panel(or indeed getting it repaired). On what I've seen recently in the for sale section i reckon I could squeeze £1500 if I replaced the panel.
I'm not selling it BTW, I just like to keep an open eye for just in case.

My other SV is irreplaceable in much better state after a rebuild, with less miles, looks much better, loads of bling. Probably be worth more as scrap ...oh and yellow too.

have a look on Ebay. there i a couple of SV650s on there. try calling some of the bike shops in your area. im sure ul find one.
