What do you guys think?

I dunno because for about 1000 more I could get a brand new Kawi 650r.

NE help is great.

I'm not necessarily the most familiar with the SV but that seems a little pricey to me...:luck:

 

[jtemple]

I paid just under $5100 for mine, new, at a dealer. However, mine is the naked one.

 

[DLIT]

No mods? See if he/she will take 5K.

 

[Gas Man]

Yeah... well $1K more and a new bike... plus you have to consider that the interest rate on the new one will be lower as well!!!

 

[DLIT]

You also have to factor in taxes, extended warranty? and all that crap too. ****, my bike was like 8300 and after taxes, assembly and all that it was up to 9999.

 

[Gas Man]

Yeah well... this is true...

then it just depends on budget and desire!

 

[jtemple]

I don't buy extended warranties. However, after taxes, plates, gear, etc. I spent about $6300.

I'd say buy a new bike if you can get a new one for $1000 more. Besides a 2004 SV650s NADA Value is Low $3,475 / Average $4,570. Edit> if I add in the full fairings option it takes the value up $300 to $355. still...

The SV doesn't hold value for nothin! Trust me I know...I had one!

You said with fairings. I assuming you meant with the lowers. That's $700 new extra here. That price is slightly high but not to bad with lowers.

 

[pcw1205]

Yeah, I meant lower fairings. I am trying to decide between the svs and the 650r, but I like the looks of the Suzuki better. I was thinking about offering around 4k for it, bc at 5200, id spend a little extra for the new kawi. I have the cash, and I dont plan on financing, so that is not an issue.

:luck: I like the SV over the Kaw too.

 

[SpeedWerks.com]

Definitely priced too high, even with the warranty. Great beginner bike, though!!!!

Yeah, the SV's a great bike. I've got a 2k5 for my first bike and other than some operator error I haven't had any problems with it. I would say you're much closer to the right ballpark at $4k for an '04 than the 52 you said they're asking.

If you're considering an SV or a 650r, I'd also take a look at the Hyosung GT650R. Brand new they retail for $5999, and they have better suspension than the other two, as it comes with inverted forks. Nice looking, too.

Got a link?

I can't say much about the price, because what bikes sell for over there is ridiculously cheap compared to what we colonials pay!

I will recommend the SV though! My Girlfriend rides one, it's well behaved enough to suit her, but can still get a decent time around a track! My only caveat, save enough to put a Yoshi pipe on it, the standard ones sound crap in comparison. And ride it first, if you don't feel comfortable on it, it doesn't matter how good the thing is!!

:cheers:

overall the SV is an excellent bike to start out on, and I know from experience.
