Thanks for the info guys. It's a 2003 SVS with 3 owners, lots of nice bits on it and in really good condition. We've agreed on 1750 so far. Might be able to come down a bit now tho :P

Oops, 18k miles and part service history...

Bibio · 11-12-09, 04:27 PM

nice bits because its been 'down the road' or the last owner spent some money doing it up to make it look better?

not a bad price though. unless they have been done 18k is about time to do the valve clearances which can be £350 service.

Nah, last owner works at Hein Gerricke so can get hold of cheap bits... Looks like a decent machine

Well I knocked him down to £1500. Thought that was a pretty good deal. Looking forward to the end of my hangover today for my first run

thats a nice price m8. if its running right you got a good deal. just remember that the K3 is a bit different than all the rest when you go for spares.

have you sorted out why the bike was running rich? The K&N and exhaust would lean out the mixture, i would think?
