Used sv650, to buy or not?

Beleve it or not, there are only 2 sv's on the market here..it's small country with pretty closed market. The lowest price i can get is 1800 euros, compared to the other sv (2003) wich they try to sell for 3500 euros. I love the bike..i fell in love when i saw it and when i tested it....it was unbeliveable. Getting another bike from a neighbour country will cost over 3000 euros + the legal risk is huge.

You can pick a nice one up in the uk for around £1500 so 1800 euros ish, but if you are limited and its a good price for you location then go for it is my opinion

Biker Biggles , usualy the money is the problem. If you have money you have no problem, unfortunately in my case that is a problem.
Buying one from the UK we'll certainly cost me more due to the taxes and the shipment. The closest place I can buy from is Bulgaria but it won't cost me less than 3000 euros. And even if i buy one, it might be dificult to register it and in many cases..impossible

I've been given more time for the bike , so i'll go and see it once again on 8th of feb and probably buy it. So any advices about what to check (and how) would be greately apreciated. Oh i said that i tested the clutch, i put it in gear and slowly tried to release it, it seemed ok but... I'm still not sure what a "broken" clutch should do xD
