not a major bargain, but good deal I think. Looks very clean. 07 sv650, lowish miles .
The reason this caught my eye is the full fairing on it..wasn't a fan of the sv650 but the full fairing transforms its looks I think.
The guy says 'aftermarket' fairings- would this point to the bike having fell/crashed?
I had a half faired sv1000 and put aftermarket fairings on mine.
Here is how mine currently looks. I wouldnt be suspicious about the chap adding fairings tbh.0 -

yeah very nice, the extra fairings really adds to the bike. How much did those fairings cost you, did you have to pay to get em sprayed too?I had a half faired sv1000 and put aftermarket fairings on mine.

cheers, wouldnt be looking to spend anymore than 2k.
just the new model i want, doesnt have to be 2003, doesnt have to be black frame either so 04 would do!!
i have it narrowed down to a 650s or else another inline 4, like a cbr600 or gsxr600.
having never ridden a twin i kinda like the idea of low down torque for commuting

the s model (fully faired) also has different sprockets and different riding position afaik.
looks great faired, looks ****e naked (imo of course)
whats the 1000 like on juice? heavy? what kinda mpg..
The S model is geared differently but only means it has the small fairing at the front with the screen, the fairing lowers are an extra. e.g. I have an 650S with a belly pan and no fairing lowers:

ZX10 if I get money lol
Have never ridden a zx10 but the r1 would be my choice of the other two,, The honda is just too,,,, well,,, honda.. it works well but is nothing exciting,.. the yam has that raw edge that makes it more fun... always felt like the blade was too sedated engine wise and too giddy on the handlebars,, They realy need a good steering damper..0 -

:rolleyes:
Bend in the middle? If you say so.
Eat tyres? It's a 1000cc Vtwin, there'd be something wrong if it didn't.
Have no brakes? Brakes are fine on them, I doubt brakes off a Blade of that year would be any better.
Maybe you bought a sh1t one?
I miss my one, created a huge grin every time you opened her up and crackled & spat flames out the exhausts when you roll off the throttle

I hadnt deep enough pockets for a set of pipes for mine,,
I always felt that if you were realy pushing it on a good bendy road that when you got back on the throtle on the exit of a corner that you could feel the whole thing flex.. I checked over all the bearings on it just to be sure but it was all as should be,, Maybe it was just a dud,, that bein said wasnt it the first honda with the swing arm bolted to the back of the motor as opposed to the frame???
It would only handle properly with a big flat rear like a michelin macadam 90 on the back and something pointy like a d208sp on the front,, Was wicked twitchey with anything more sporty on the rear or less so on the front..0 -

....assuming it's sound, and half as good as the pics, it's a bargain.Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
