I've got a good bit of experience with SV's. They are very easy to work on and a lot of parts swap from other bikes. For instance, you could swap a complete front end from a late model gsx-r for better looks and performance. That said, I think that bike is work about 2200 tops. does it have a clean title? Is it the one listed on CL in gahanna? I could help you take a look at it if you need.
