Thanks,sparkyd31

Might want to hold out until next year. Season is about over. I'd look into a newer bike then that as well. Like the 2000+ gixxers. You see them for around the same price and they are a more manuverable bike as well.JM2C

Price seems a little high, but other than that not a bad setup.
Sportbikes are lots of fun, but also lots of trouble in the undisciplined hands.

Seems to me that you can make a better purchase $$$$$ if you look around and be patient.
Be sure to save a couple hundred bucks to take the MSF Safety Course!

When did you get a bike and or how long you had it

Really? My bike (avatar) now has about 18,000 miles. There are MANY on the forum I visit with over 50,000 and one with over 100,000
To the thread poster - I would not spend 3200 bucks on that bike.

haha^ Actually I have a 1982? Virago 750. Good beginner bike, ahs around 40,000 miles and still running strong. Dad has a 1996 Harley Ultra with over 100,000 on it. I thought it was high but it has no problems as of yet. Not sure how long 4 cylinders can last???
I did alot of talking with guys on a different forum. Just passing the info along.

Matt you have to remember our SV650s are superior to all other bikes, of course i'm still trying to break a thousand miles on mine. 
I spend money i don't have, on parts i don't need, to impress people i don't know.

Edit - Just found your thread. I was in the midst of moving when you posted that. Sorry I missed it! I remember you PMing me something awhile back but I forgot what.
Welcome to the SV club.. if there was one HA. Doesn't that V-twin put a smile on your face on the twisty backroads?
1,000 miles? You have had it 3 months, whats the problem! haha. Get on that baby
You on SVrider.com ? That can be a good forum, there is just alot of jerks on there.

Well with the low miles, i've been sick for awhile so i didn't ride it to much but also when i get time to ride its raining orforecasted rain and doesn't. I do like the v-twin torgue and my tank, tail bags should be here next week so now i can ride it when i go up home. I' on svrider.com but i mainly read and don't post alot and i'm sure you understand why, my name is DSIMATT on there.
I spend money i don't have, on parts i don't need, to impress people i don't know.

10,800 is nothing for a 1997. mid 90s and older sportbikes tend to last a lot longer than todays high strung bikes. I would love FI, but todays fire breathing racers are about shot at 30k.I bought a 1996 yzf with 11,000 miles on it. 3rd summer on it and just rolled it over 23,000. Still have atleast half of its life left. I have seen many go over 100,000 miles (even with occasional track days.)Also handles just as good as an SV with still hard to beat brakes and much more grunt.

A sport bike will last as long as you treat it well. I know many people that have hit the 100k+ on rockets. Truth is most dont see that in their lives because they are wrecked.
I love my r6 and its been very good to me, 05 with almost 20k on it.
ha been awhile since i posted here!
this is what I have been doin all summer!
