I'm just wondering here, why would anyone buy a new SV? The bike really hasn't changed that much, it does not now come with awesome suspension.
They run forever, there's a million of them on craigslist, so why on earth would you buy an SV off the showroom floor?
I mean really? It's a girls bike right?
Mine was woman owned (read not all f*acked up with idiot mods and crashed) before it was sold with a guy with no time to ride. With 20K showing it looked show room. I paid $2K.
This isn't uncommon, maybe a good deal but not the best ever.
My ownership experience has been essentially that of a new bike. Turn the key and it runs, every time. Plus, I got some nice upgrades in the deal.
Anyhow, I totally don't get why anyone would buy a new SV. It just doesn't change from year to year. The Gen1 is pretty much as good as the two and some think better looking.
Comments please.
