Hi pipedr
like roundy77 i liked the colour and got a good deal. the bike had been on the dealers floor for a while when i decided to trade in my sv 650s. i got a 1.99% finance deal,£500 (900 dollars) worth of clothing and merchandise and the bike was already fitted with short off roads,kneepads,tankbib,and spindle covers all worth around £350 pounds (640 dollars)so a good deal all round. all i need now is some warm weather (it has been snowing for the last 4 days) and i can go and put some more miles on the clock
