Advice on new bike

Hi guys and girls,

Passed my test on wednesday and have been busy looking for an SV. Seen this one n autotrader.
Can you have a look at the link below and give me your thoughs on the bike and the price? I think the bike has been with the dealer since the end of August so might be able to get a few quid off or an extra or two thrown in. What do you think? Can you see any problems with it?

Personally I think you'd be mental to pay that much for a 1st bike.

looks good too me but like yorkie says it's alot of money to pay out for a first bike that you may drop accidently(it happens to lot's of people) but if it's what you want then who's to tell you otherwise.

Ignore YC. He's a notorious tightwad and prophet of doom.

It's got a lot of stuff you'd put on the bike anyway. But the can may affect your insurance, and the mesh finish on it is a bit odd. Make sure they've got the original can and pillion seat. Still needs a hugger and possibly a tail tidy. Got crash bungs which are a bonus.

Do you like the colour?

If I were you, I'd ignore that and buy this

that's crazy cheap

absolute bargain, my old yellow 2004 is on for 2995 in a dealer. buy that one, pm the seller, get his number, ask loads of questions then train it up and ride it back

You could get the same bike cheaper privately, but then lose the advantages of using a dealer.

Can get a brand new one for about £600 more.

If you've got the money then spend it, first bike or not. Loads get SVs are first bikes brand new.

If your paying cash ebay is the place to look just now, some great bargains on there and I just paid half that for an 04 plate with lots of extras.
