Want 650

Considering you could buy brand new SV's for only 6K almost every year they were in production, I think 3K for an 8 year old one is overpriced.

They're $7,500 currently.

Yea i think thats pretty good. I would have to agree and say that fits the bill, and you may be able to talk them down a buck or 2.

The SVS was like $6750 way back in 03.......but that was MSRP. It was easy to get them for $6K through large dealers with an internet salesperson.

Went to see the bike today after work. It's at a tiny little boutique dealer close to me. I didnt even know it was there, but I think they are newish. They had a nice selection of bikes for how small they were. A nice 50th Anny R1, a nice 954, and a beautiful green 07 zx6r. And the usual selection of gixxers and F4i's. Pretty good prices overall. Even had a purpose built Harley drag bike. Price tag was like 30 grand.

The SV was is good condition, but not excellent. Has a scuff on the right headlight (might buff out), a hairline crack on the left side of the fairing, and the grab rail was a bit torn up. But other than that the motor, frame, and suspension looked really clean. They wanted like $200 more than they show online, but im going to talk them down anyway.

Need to sell the Honda now......

Shows how out of the loop I am.. I didn't know Suzuki had discontinued the SV.

What's funny is the SVN still shows on their website. When you click, it's an 08 model.

They replaced it with the gladius, which is way down there with the standards. Since I have never seen one in the wild, I am assuming that it sold rather crapily and really was just a way for suzuki bean counters to take an otherwise decent bike and make it cheaper to build thus also making it crappier and stealing its soul

The mags loved the gladius when it came out.

I have ridden one. They're actually pretty fun and comfortable to ride but kinda ugly in person (not too bad but the headlight just turns me off though I have to admit it is starting to grow on me)
