Title: WTB Naked Bike...SV650?
Post by: Prafeston on May 24, 2008, 02:45:30 PM
Was all set to buy a 1993 Bandit 400 and the deal fell through. So now after selling me 90 GS I'm out a motorcycle and it's driving me crazy. Looking for a naked streetfighter looking bike. GS500, Bandit 400, Hawk GT, or Buell Lightning. Anything really as long as the fairings are gone and it's ready to ride. I have $2200 cash in hand. Let me know if you have any leads. Preferrable in the Missouri area. I'm located in the Springfield and Rolla area. Thanks!

Come down to Florida and buy my 98. New (TODAY),  tars, chain, 15t front cog, brakes, oil change & filter. Selling 2 extra sets of carbs (fine working order on MY bike), with it too.

What ? It's only 2500 miles round trip ;)

I knew this location thing would be a problem. Any SV650s out there?

Why are you selling?!  :o  I thought you loved that bike? And just when your carb collection was finally taking off  :laugh:

edit: You're buying an Audi R8, aren't you?  ;)

everyone BUYS this time of year. prices are higher, everyone's itching to ride. wait till the fall to pick up a bike, save a little money. maybe find a downed sv650 that some kid just made a mess of.

don't forget about the ex500, or ex250, they're both great bikes too. (carburated though)

the sv with EFI is your best money. :)

I know it's the worst time to buy right now, but I can't go this whole summer without riding...that's crazy talk. I was hoping to have a bike by now. I'm currently looking at a Bandit 400 in Chicago and and an SV650 in Bloomington. Both close to 12 hour round trip pick ups. But I'm gonna have to take a hit trying to find something close. Seems like all the good bikes are on the coasts.
