OOOOOOOOOiiiiiiiiiiii

Naff OFF, I'd seen it first







Not really

Can't have another blue one in the EAR, common as muck

Almost as bad as Silver curvy's

Did think about buying this as damage wasn't too bad

It doesn't look too bad, but, the level of rust on the rear sub-frame and the fact it is bent would concern me. All the damaged parts can be easily replaced apart from the clutch cover as they are one big piece on Thou's, but, give it the once over maybe and see if you can see anything major wrong.

If now, then you'll be getting a stonking bike

mmmmmmmmmm.......... i would say the bikes at the end of its live and will be a money pit. Not worth more that £800 Max due to mileage and work required to get it tidy and also the potential risk of finding many problems on such a high mileage bike.



My sv1000 cost £2000, Its HPI clear, like brand new, 8,000 miles and does not need a penny spending for a long time.

If money is tight remember the sv1000 cost 33% more on fuel

Kelly if there is cash there go for it!

Ideal slow burner project as it'll not cast that much to fix up.

How has no one did a DP joke!
