I don't have any pictures, as I just picked the bike up last night, but I got a pretty good deal on a copper '03 SV650S. It replaces my FZ6.

The speedo is wonky, and I searched here and found out about the front-wheel sensor issue; I'll pull the wheel and see if that thing is off.

It already has some good RaceTech work done to the suspension. As it's going to be replacing my FZ as my streetbike (I already have a track bike or three), I'll be picking up some bags, lowers, risers, and a more upright-friendly windscreen where I can find them for cheap.

My hubby already has an SV1000S; I just hope it won't look like we were trying to match.

As I don't have any pics of the bike yet, here is the one it replaces and its new stablemate:

And the '03 SVN I had a few years ago.

Welcome to the site. And welcome back to SV ownership. This cheap little budget bike is hard to beat. At least you got a better color this time.

Teri, you and your hate of yellers.

Welcome to SVR, hope you have thick skin.

 

[tlc4diving]

No hate. I just know that blue is prettier.

 

[Ranger]

Well, we both be biased.

Welcome to SVR.

You know, I actually think I remember seeing this bike for sale... did you have it pictured in front of a battleship or tanker in one of your for sale posts way back when?

Welcome back!

I just picke up a 05 Sv650s with 10,000 on it last week the guy I got it from dropped t and cracked the left side fairing and has some rash on right also it could use a set of tires also.But i only paid $1800 I thought it was a good deal what do you guys think?

 

[Roadstergal]

Thank y'all! I won't have it out for pics until I do a few things to it - new chain and sprockets, oil and brake fluid change, speedo fix. It's definitely a little less show and more go than the yaller one. I'm getting old in my old age.

Is this the pic you're thinking of? Not quite a battleship...

 

[navy8ret]

Roadstergal - Welcome back to SV ownership, you definitely picked the right color ;D to start back with. SO hubby (Slydrite <did I spell that right) gonna sign up over here too LOL - Definitely a different place than the BARF for sure LOL

PS
I'm the guy that bought the SV front seat from you 2 a while back.

Ha, yeah that's the one! Yeah not a tanker either lol... I saw those pics looking up '04 yellows before I picked up my 04 yellow SVS.

 

[Roadstergal]

Yellow is my second favorite color in an SV.

Navy - of course I remember! No, he's not so forum-happy as I am, and he can read over my shoulder for 1K info every now and then.

 

[Rock Dodger]

Sounds like you should be right at home here, there's lots of good info.

I'll be looking for your posts.

blue ftw

 

[Roadstergal]

The only pic I have - it's up on the table right now getting a cleanup and some maintenance. And a stickerectomy while I'm at it. Givi racks on the way...

 

[handydandy]

bike still looks good even up on the rack. I wish i had a rack to tune my bike on. I cant post picks so i cant show my bike besides this

just wish my bike was a different color, and had a jet black frame. The black powder coated frames i think look better
