Opinions on a SV
 

Which is the better deal for $2,700? Both are in good condition.

03 SV650 6,300 miles - This is from a friend so I know the history of the bike

06 SV650 14,000 miles

Any goodies or all stock?

Stock

Minimal goodies not worth mentioning like a fender elim and tank bra :lol:

seems like a decent deal on both, I like the black frame of the newer ones better.

I do too, and the 06 is that odd blue color which I am not sure if I like or hate yet. I am not crazy about the silver on silver but heck I just want something cheap to ride until I get out of school and can afford what I really want.

I know 14,000 isn't a lot of miles, but it just seems that way in comparison to 6,000. Do I have to worry about anything with that kind of mileage?

If they do wheelies, yes. The SV oil starves pretty easily during a wheelie.

Probably better to go with the one you know the history.

The mileage doesn't matter, I put almost 52K on my '02.

Get your friend to lower his/her price on the 03. If not, get the 06.

He already did for me! Its a fair price for the 03 but people here sell their bikes for really cheap so it doesn't seem that great of a deal when I can get a new one for the same $.

Did you have to do anything major to your SV other than basic maintenance?

Thats the link to the 06

That's an good deal for an 06 if it's in good shape with no accidents. I paid $3500 for a crashed 05 with 9k 3 months ago (with more goodies though).

I'd pass on the 03. I don't like the silver frame and some stuff was changed considerably in 04 which means that some aftermarket parts are 04+ only.
