2001 Suzuki SV650S (1st gen) 645cc V-Twin.
I bought this bike from a good friend about 6 months ago (he was the second owner so I am the technically the third). Bike is in good shape, runs well, and doesn't look to shabby (it has some nicks/scratches along with some gas stain on the tank though someone told me some Goo Gone would remove it just I haven't gotten around to doing it).
It has about 25,600 miles, and I know that can strike as being a lot esp. when you see many folks selling bikes with less miles. Though for a bike that is like 6 years old you can somewhat break that down to 4200 miles a year give or take of course a year. Also there are many who think this is a good sign a bike that is ridden more often than just being mainly garage kept.
I love riding, and when ever it is not raining along with not being less than 50 degrees out side I have been riding her in the last 6 months. And I have found myself putting a good amount of miles within the week esp. since I ride to work and home... And when weather permits out when hanging with friends.
It is a very comfortable bike, there are those who would say this is not a good beginner bike, I don't know if it is or isn't but I can say I learned on it... Taking my experience with driving manual cars, and a good sense of balance I started riding in my sub-division then getting my learners permit then getting my full license. So if someone is interested and has no riding experience I say just take your time, and be careful... You can learn on this bike, and enjoy it.
I originally bought this bike because I was going to sell my last car which I did (04 Nissan 350Z) in order to get out of debt and buy a house... Though now that I am closer to buying a house I feel that I want to have some just in case money in the bank, so even though I love the bike and I like riding... Selling is the easiest way to make some money versus getting another loan or use credit cards right now and down the road I can always pick up another bike.
So now since owning it I have replaced...
Pirelli Diablo Strada Tires $229 not including mounting/balance (pretty much brand new, just got done scrubbing them).
Galfer Front Brake Pads $48 (recently installed).
Zero Gravity Double Bubble Windshield $70 (recently installed, the OEM turned yellowish).
Micron stainless steel full race pipework with polished aluminum round race silencer $640.
Motosliders Frame Sliders $68
I am looking for $2,800 for the bike with clean Title in hand and I am throwing in some extra items to help speed the sale...
