Hey guys,

I'm buying a 2007 sv650 abs model with about 2k miles on it. The bike looks mint condition, clean title. The asking price is 5k. It's very difficult to get abs version in our area (no dealers have them, CL is empty for months. Still... Am i getting a good deal? Thanks!

Sounds about right.

 

[COOLIGUN]

forgot to add... it's naked, not the S model.

Just bought mine after looking all around the country for an almost new naked. Ended up with an 08 non-ABS with 1,600 miles and a few nice mods. Paid about $5,200. Your deal sounds about right from my experience.

 

[COOLIGUN]

thanks guys. this bike has a few really nice mods for commuting plus extended warranty for the next 2.5 years.

Abs is awesome by the way.

the only reason i'm buying that bike: abs.

ok, ok plus it's naked and light

 

[stangeroo]

thats a pretty good deal, and the nakeds are hard to find anymore. ABS is cool, but not crucial

A bit off topic, but ABS only came on 07 and 08 models right? was in only on the nakeds or was it on the S models as well?

Is there anything in the model name to differentiate it from a non ABS model? How can I pick out ABS on an SV just by looking. Just wondering as I start thinking about SV's. I'll prob end up with an older non ABS SV since I haven't seen a single SV listed with ABS around here.

A bit off topic, but ABS only came on 07 and 08 models right? Yes. And 09. was in only on the nakeds or was it on the S models as well? S and Naked models.

Is there anything in the model name to differentiate it from a non ABS model? No. How can I pick out ABS on an SV just by looking. I believe the only visual difference is an ABS control module under the seat. Just wondering as I start thinking about SV's. I'll prob end up with an older non ABS SV since I haven't seen a single SV listed with ABS around here.

I think I'm good on this. Others feel free to correct me though.

Just to put it in persepective I got my 07 S no abs for 6k in sept 07. Its up to you whether you think your getting a good deal or not. But remember this no matter what you buy your whole life if you wait long enough you can find a better deal, but is it worth the wait?

How can I pick out ABS on an SV just by looking.

Look at the front brake rotors, one side is different from the other because it has a notched ring that the ABS sensor reads off.

Abs models have a ABS sticker on the front fenders as well as different wheels. Around the hubs there is a aluminum slotted rotors that is meant for a snesor to pick up.

As others have pointed out, look for the slotted rotor thing near the hub on the front wheel...that's an ABS sensor. ABS is on the left below...normal brakes on the right.
