Well im considering this deal i found with another rider in the bay area,
2002 sv650s it's got 8k miles, needs a new rear tire, and went down on left side.  Dmg is cracked left fairing, rash on bar end, and dent in the tank. The owner is a female rider one owner who wants to trade down as she wants a smaller bike.  The dmg to me does not look bad and it's only cosmetic.  The deal is a straight up trade for my 04F.  Both registrations are paid.  My bike has 4k and needs the 2nd service.  I have been wanting an sv for a while but want some good opinions as to whether or not this is a good deal for a straight up trade.  Now i know i can repair the fairing easy by replacing it and the paint on the tank is not damaged just a dent.  Is this a good deal or should i just wait for something else?  She is asking 3500 cash for the bike without trade.  Discuss

I am pretty sure there are better deals out there and I am sure there are more than a few SV's on Craigslist right now.  Then again, it is a straight trade and there is no hassle of finding a buyer, etc.

Just remember your bike is in good/new condition and you are trading for damaged goods.  Check out CL for going rates on SV's and see if you still think it is worth it

as long as it isn't a copper one, it sounds like a good deal, but get her to buy a new rear tire for it first.

I think you could get a better deal.

I have been wanting an sv for a while

Sounds like a win/win situation for both parties involved.  Make the trade.
