The bike has also been completely gone over by them and in great overall condition. Other than the $$$ and the wife probably Basically this is my consensus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQfI6TPbIfg#t=0m20s Since the carbs are good for a while, which is the worst part of the bike, it sounds totally worth it.

Well, that was fast. The guys friend with the CBX for sale never even gave me a sniff, he sent me an email that said "take a look at my ad" and as soon as I found it he put a SOLD in it. Must have sold it within an hour going by the email time stamp. Oh well.

http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mcy/2325186586.html 2005 SV650 Standard/Naked 12,249 Miles M4 High Mount Exhaust Solo Seat Cowl Rear Hugger Bar End Mirror New Front Tire Bike is in excellent condition, never been down. Very easy to ride and smooth power delivery. Let me know if you have any questions! http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv283/Danielson2881/Motorcycles/BumbleBeeSV.jpg Really like the look of this bike. I haven't taken my MSF yet, but thought I would share it. I've been scouring craigslist to see what sort of bikes I like, and what are in my price range. Is that a reasonable price for year and model? Seems low. Also this one. http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/mcy/2321365477.html BlackLaser fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Apr 15, 2011 |

BlackLaser posted:http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mcy/2325186586.html That's a pretty good deal. I paid close to that for an 05 SV650S with 12,000 miles, a full aftermarket exhaust system, Power Commander 3 and brand new tires. I don't think it would be unreasonable to offer $3200 or $3300... If I can give you one piece of advice it would be to follow your heart when buying a bike. If the SV feels right, go for it. A bike should make you smile every time you look at it and go for a ride.

I've been watching sv650 locally(DC) for about 4 months. From what I've seen I would expect a 2005 to be 3000-3500. For 2500 I could find a 2002 or 2003, so I would think that price for a 99 would be high.

My XS750 is in need of some work that I wouldnt mind passively doing over the summer and next winter but I need something to ride and I've been looking for something that I could take to show as well. I saw a ton of street tracker bikes out in Tokyo and fell in love with them. If I can talk this guy down I think I'm using my tax return on this thing. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/mcy/2326179574.html

I know things like this are probably a dime a dozen, but I would definitely love to grab this if I had a garage in which I could work on it. The sucker would probably cost entirely too much to get going again, but drat would I have fun in the process. Nevermind. This is what I want.

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/mcy/2330321608.html I've been literally cruising craigslist non-stop over the past few months. Unfortunately it seems like SV650's here are just creeping up in price bit by bit. I'm afraid gas prices are going to start driving things up above the "still possible to convince the woman it's a good idea" range as everyone thinks their 1992 CBR is worth 4,500.

The XS650 will be way more practical, although if you're not doing any freeway ever you'll probably have more fun overall on the TW.

Z3n posted:The XS650 will be way more practical, although if you're not doing any freeway ever you'll probably have more fun overall on the TW. Depends on the weight of the rider and the gearing. I had no problem at 65-75mph on my TW with different sprockets, but it won't have much more to give. There is a certain pleasure to a motorcycle where 50% of the time you can hold the throttle wide open, and the challenge is to make that 50% into 75%.

It's a 650, but it's Air/Oil cooled, so it doesn't put out significantly more HP than the DRZ (although more torques), it's as heavy as the DRZ, and it's using older suspension. Save your cash and buy a BB kit for the DRZ, or really save and pick up a 610 or 690.
