#1 Unread post by icariz83 »

1997 GXR600R with approx 20,000 miles. missing right mirror, brake lever broke off (rear), been down on its right side, front tire balder than an eagle, Yosh slip on. $2,450.

2001 SV650S 2,778 miles. Near perfect condition except for a crack in the lower left fairing about 3 inches long. $3,750

Defininitely the SV650. My first bike had been downed on the right (are all dropped bikes on the right side?) and it had several recurring problems because of this.

Worth the extra $1k to have a newer, less destroyed motorcycle.

How fast do you want to go :flame: ? Really, though, I would lean away from a used gsxr that's been down what seems like A LOT!

What currency is that price in?

I would go for the SV for sure, however something I would have to consider is wher I live in Canada a new 2005 SV600 is only $9000.
