This probably won't be of much interest to anyone on here unless you know someone who is looking..
I'm selling my partner's SV650S due to her health issues. We weren't intending on selling it which is why, having just past 16000 miles, I gave it the complete works servicing wise - valves shimmed, new chain and sprockets, new tyres (it's very easy on tyres and these are first new tyres it's had).
So if you fancy being able to thrash around the countryside with less risk to your licence than the Falco (while still being a twin), or need a steady commuter that will need bugger-all money spending apart from a couple of oil changes for the next 15000 miles (or you know someone who does).
Offers over £3100.

Very nice but I have 2 issues.
1. the missus will throttle me.
2. the bikes 2 small, yup I hit the handlebars with my knees.
Anyway good luck selling it its a nice bike

I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

1. She'd have to catch you first!
2. It has much more leg room than a Falco.
Probably a little bit slower compared to what you're used to, Gio

What's speed got to do with it. Yes you are right once it's in motion but turning while stopped is impossible for me, I can remember sitting on Viney's SV, with the bars straight there was about half an inch between my knees and the grips.
