    2008 sv650. Rode all highway miles by a little old lady with her husband. Needs a few things, but I have been wanting a bike bad and the timing and price was impeccable - couldn't beat it!

    Great Bikes, quick, light, sound mean with exhaust, wheelie friendly and handle awesome. You'll love that little guy. The best part is in a couple years when you decide you want something faster(and it will happen) throw one of your badass swingarms and some inverts on that beast and make one kick ass trike out of it.

    Please be careful around people texting, holding their coffee, making a phone call, holding their dog, lighting their cigarette and applying their makeup.

    Yes Happy B day

    I can't see the photo so I have no idea what shape its in.

    Does this mean you won't be building a cafe bike out of your 250r?

    I'm digging on the tie-down method. Little easier to strap a trike down to a flat bed eh?

    Happy Birthday!

    I have always been a fan of the SV, although I have never actually had the pleasure of actually riding one. Good to hear that you got a great deal on it.

    Happy Birthday (and many more to come), and enjoy your present safely.

    This motor has 124,000 (yes, lol) miles on it, so in the event it meets a timely demise, I have the perfect set of parts and pieces to further pursue that

    Holy crap that's a lot of miles for a small mill, isn't it? It looks so clean and well taken care of. Wonder what a person can expect for total miles before a refresh is needed?
