Does that sound like to much. My friend bought an 06 EX-500 for that, its got close to 4k miles on it and has been dropped and the belly pan and tail section are cracked. I thought he paid way to much but he thinks he got an awesome deal. What do you think.

 

[jbswear]

He got a great price. Just ask him.

 

[swiest152]

and why would you buy that when you could easily buy a nice sv650 for 3600.....

 

[jbswear]

Because he wanted to.

 

[swiest152]

Because he wanted to.

thats a bad reason

If it was in pristine condition, then I would say $3,600 maybe.

Make sure your friend isn't close to any sharp objects if you decide to show him this thread.

 

[swiest152]

in all honesty, he should have paid like $3k for the bike.

It's a three year old bike that originally came out 22 years go.... and they haven't changed that much.

thats a bad reason

I bought a 35 year old motorcycle and have dumped hundreds into it. Why? Because I wanted to. Is that a bad reason?

You lowered the performance of your SV by putting a chopped can on it. Why? Because you wanted to.

You built what others call an ugly motorycle. Why? Because you wanted to.

See a pattern here? It's up to the owner, not the public.

lhahahahahha.

jesus christ. take some of the sand out then post.

thats a bad reason

Why did you spend as much in mods and time as you did on an SV rather than buy a bike that more closely matched what you wanted out of the box?

Basically no two people want the same thing, sounds like the guy with 500 got what HE wanted.

 

[swiest152]

this is gonna keep getting better and better. I cant wait.

Oh, I'm just playing Devil's Advocate. I don't care either way.

:hug:

 

[swiest152]

and i was messing around with my first two posts. Third post was a serious answer. and I personally think he paid to much.

My local shop has a similar bike for a similar price, It is in good shape,m but they are having trouble selling it, kind of an orphan size.

seems a bit high. i would not have stepped near it for that much.

I just picked one up too for my wife. Paid just a little less for an 07 but it has more miles. Tried to talk her into a SV but she wanted something a little smaller. I think she was right.

I dont know about prices where you live, but here in SD I have seen clean 500's run from 2700 to 3200. I do think he paid too much, the demand for the 500's are not too high so the price for a used is kept fairly low from what you would expect.

I have never been too big a fan of the 500s due to the resale values and lack of demand compared to the sv650 and the ninja 250. But kawi does make the bike for a reason. eh, just my 2 cents.

Here you go create another fable. You wanted to.

His money - his choice.

Maybe I'm a bit slow today, but I don't quite get the joke.
