The SV's I've been looking at range from 2k-3.5k.

 

Remember cash talks so if you get another grand or so in the next few months you should be set

 

I'm doing the same thing as you are, riding a starter bike for a year then reselling to upgrade, and from what I can tell most people lose maybe 500 on a SV when reselling.

 

If you shop and ride carefully, you don't have to lose on an SV650. I bought my SV650 on CL with a little rash on the side cover and can, rode it for 8 months and 5k miles and sold it last week for a $300 profit. Expand your CL searching to Dayton/Springfield and Cincinnati, and be ready to drop everything to go look when the right ad pops up. I've had a lot of luck buying and selling on CL, and really have yet to make a deal I'm not happy with.

Beat me to it. Thanks.

Power was from memory, I read it somewhere... Guess I remembered wrong.

**Fixed**

It had 70hp according to http://www.suzukicycles.org

04srturbo: There is a Clean title 2001 1100 at Racer's Edge down here in Cincy that can be had for $3700. It's burgandy over cream two tone, with some aftermarket chrome, and less than 10k miles. I'm sure they'd be interested in working a deal with you.

It needs a good detail, and will probably need a rear tire soon, but it sure is pretty. I'd have bought this one instead of the 650, but I couldn't get them to come down to my price range.

The floor boards are one of the reasons I was looking for a 2001+. I've ridden another vstar 650, and found that it pretty well suited my riding style. Obviously there will be a bit of a learning curve, going from a sporty standard with 70 hp to a cruiser with 40, but I think that for what I'm going to do with it, it'll be just fine. I was really struck by the colors on this one, light green (almost silver) metallic over darker green metallic two tone. I've never seen this color combo on another vstar.

 

***Edit: Fixed fuzzy memory for numbers***

There are several of them out there on CL right now, one 2001 that has been laid down, with pretty light damage and a clear title you can probably pick up for about 1500 if you take cash. It really is a great bike, and I'm happy that I bought it, as a matter of fact, had my wife decided that she didn't like to ride, I'd have probably kept it. The V-Star should be a little better for 2 up riding though.

Sold this on Tuesday, 2001 Suzuki SV650, 2nd owner, 32k miles:

I can't wait for warmer weather! I'll get some better pics when it warms up, and I can get it clean, it's kinda dirty right now.

Texas is our new Michigan for sure........

I was out for a couple of hours yesterday, got me thinking about riding to work Monday and Tuesday. Supposed to get up to the low 50's and dry.

Wish I'd seen this sooner, that guy is 10 miles from my house... Could have saved you the trip.

I bought an Air Hogs Havoc Heli for my son last year, and it was great for a while. Unfortunately, he broke it within a couple of weeks, and I haven't figured out how to fix it without screwing up the balance of the rotor. The Havoc Heli was a HUGE improvement over the first generation of indoor Air Hogs r/c helicopters, I don't know about current offerings though.

A loss around the holidays is never easy, especially when it is someone close. Family doesn't get much closer than a loyal, loving pet. Sorry for the loss of your dog.

** Bump **

 

Wow... no interest at all? Anyone have an older cruiser they'd be interested in trading?

2001

32k miles

Runs great

$2700

 

If you talk to anyone, they'll tell you this is a fantastic bang for the buck bike.

Congrats on getting justice the legal way. :thumbup:

Went to the wife's 10 year, and it pretty well sucked. Stole a bunch of commemorative plastic cups for the kids to use, but that was really about it. Didn't make it back for mine, from what I've been able to gather, I didn't miss much. I still keep in touch with almost everyone that I'd care to talk to while there, so there really isn't much need for the whole class reunion thing.

 

Funny thing I saw at my wife's reunion was that it was just like the cafeteria when we were in high school. The old cliques were so clearly defined, it was like stepping through a time warp.

Mid May would be good I think. Cool enough to not sweat too much in full gear, but warm enough to be comfortable in short sleeves when we stop.

Thanks for putting this up, I had been wondering as well where the hell the next one was!!

 

It probably took a while to find people to do it after seeing the guy in the f150 drive his truck through a brick wall. I can honestly say that after seeing that, I'd have to think hard about whether it would be worth it to me.

I'm in!

Your insurance company will take care of it... Since they're the claimant though, they will issue a check to them directly for the cost of the damages based on their estimate. The other driver is entitled to a rental while their car is being repaired, but not until the car goes in the shop. Insurance will probably require a paid invoice from them to reimburse, or they'll setup direct billing with the rental company. As for the police report, it was an accident on private property, you've admitted fault, I wouldn't think that the insurance company would require it because the facts of the loss are not in question.
