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.
no it's blue, i will get pics up up tomorrow
I think you could get a better deal.

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