Re: Be patient or go for it!?
If the description is accurate, then this looks to be a bargain.
Certainly ride able if the radiator isn't leaking http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...E:B:SS:GB:1123

Re: Be patient or go for it!?
I've already seen two of those three videos! :P Because i'm really sad and just sit around listening to these things! :P I've also debated a Bandit 600 for a year before buying an SV.... Decisions!

Re: Be patient or go for it!?
I rode my brothers Bandit and hated it. I'm not a fan of IL4s really as you need to rev it to death to get anywhere!

Considering my last bike was a 125 a bandit would feel like a rocketship even in the first 5k revs :P

Re: Be patient or go for it!?
Dude, the can is pivotal where the sound is concerned (as is the air filter, but less so). If you loved the bike for the sound, what you're actually loving is a combination of the SV lump and the can. The same bike will sound totally different with a different can. Was it standard, or what? If it was standard, then there's no accounting for taste!

The SV I rode was a standard can on an '05 model, so I guess standard is the way forward
I will get one with a different can to see if I like it first I think
