Really stupid question!
Hey all
I've been watching this site for a while and am very interested in upgrading to an SV650 at some point. One thing keeps confusing me however... what do the K numbers mean? Is it as obvious as the year the bike was registered, i.e 2003 SV650s K3 ? Thank you!

Re: Really stupid question!
I thought it was more to do with when the bike was made? You can still buy a brand new K6 now can't you?

Re: Really stupid question!
So in my example, the bike could have been made in 2001 but not registered until 2002?

Re: Really stupid question!
K1 etc. refers to model, which usually roughly lines up with the actual year of manufacture, and hence registration.
So yes, you can end up with a K1, which is the 2001 "model year" being registered in 2002. |
