I am in the market for an sv 650 naked. I came across a post on craigslist today and went to check it out. The seller said he was the original owner, but the title showed 10,500 miles on the odometer when it was transferred to him. He explained that the bike was sold as new to him, but it was a "cage" bike. I called the dealer where he purchased the bike and they confirmed the story. The bike was a suzuki owned demo bike, but they have no way of knowing how so many miles were put on. I checked title, vin, etc. and it all checks out. He purchased his 2007 red sv 650 naked in May 2008, and the dealer confirmed that the 1 yr original warranty would transfer to me for the remaining few months.
So after all that typing, I want input. Mainly does anyone know how so many miles got put on the bike? I think he was able to buy the bike for roughly $4600 "new" -- we settled on 3,500 and i plan on buying this bike on monday. Thoughts?
