Thinking of selling the SV - how much is it worth?

Always put back to standard as much as possible, especially on trade in, you won't get a penny more.

If you sell private, offer the goodies as an extra.

Btw, the above valuation of £2-2.5k for a bike of the age of yours is way too low, you shouldnt accept less than £2.8k IMO, I got £3100 for mine private, offered £2.9k on trade in, which I declined.

3899 for an SK6 is a bit much (one at the bottom of the page in the link)! With 500 miles in 4 years - ridden to the dealer for each service only its just a crime to bikes.

That is a sin
TBH mine did 2980 miles in 9 years until I got it

If I was looking for a SV I would pay £2500, or £2700 with the mods.

Dealers seem to be want used over new stocks as the margins are better

Yeah but you pay over the odds for the bike you px it for.

So orgers - what do you reckon - would someone like to give me an idea of what it's worth?

It's the wrong time to be selling your bike. Unless you need the money to fund a new bike, I think you'd be better off waiting until the spring when the prices pick up (or you change your mind.)

If you do sell it, return it to standard and advertise all the shiny bits on here. Put any that nobody wants on Fleabay.

Agree with this, although it's only 1/10 times you get someone who values the mods as much as you. If they're innexpensive leave them on but I'd probably strip other bits of if you can be bothered. People tend to just shop by this model, + this year + this approx. mileage, in good nick = I'll pay this much.
