$3000 u.s good for a 2000 sv650 - SV650.org

i beleive the conversion to U.K pounds is 1460 odd pounds
the bike has like 63,000 miles on it.. not sure on conversion
its a 2000 the carburated model

he said its been dropped about 6 times..

is this a good deal?

Wouldnt pay more the £1000 Gb for it, how much damage has the 6 drops done, the frame OK?

Suppose comparing markets is a little tricky really as different markets tend to have wildly different prices for things, but as runt says, even with the strong pound/weak dollar at the moment £1500 sounds like a lot for that (especially as a year or so ago, the exchange rate would have made that closer to £1750).

The mileage is on the high side and the drops are a worry. I suppose most bikes have been dropped, but without knowledge of how they've been dropped (ie. knocked off sidestand? low speed tumble?) you'd want to know that it's straight.

EDIT: Oh, and no worries about converting the miles (though it's 1.609 kilometres to a mile if you're interested), we still run miles over here too, it's just everyone else that uses kilometres

Although petrol/gas is sold in litres, yet fuel efficiency is measured in miles per gallon

It's a bit messed up to be honest

EDIT 2: Further conversions:
kilometre = kilometer
litre = liter

Far too dear for over here.I wouldnt pay more than £500 for a damaged 7 year old bike with over 60000 miles on it.In fact I wouldnt buy it at all.I thought bike were cheap over there?

Have to agree with you there, coming from somewhere totally metric.
choose one or the other, don't use both ....

Doesn't sound a good deal - far from it. Could be worse though, it could be yellow
