insurance?..

[deej]

try motorcyclenews.com and theyre compare place,worked for me and suprisingly it wasnt cheaper to go to direct to the insurer than it was through mcn

[Milky]

cheers everyone. i've started looking at some of the sports/touresrs now. and there is a significant diference in the insurance prices. some of the sv650s's look niceee ??

[Banditmax]

Look at a 600 bandit for insurance on that, i found a 1200 bandit is still cheaper to insure than a newish r6 or similar.

[Milky]

can you get side fairing like this with all the SV's?.. this is on the '09 one.. can it be done with the older ones like '99 etc or is it just with new ones? First time i've seen it and it looks awsome!

Yea you can get them on the older ones, don't look as nice as the newer ones though IMO

[Milky]

yeh they dont look as nice as the newer ones but i think the Sv's look nicer with them than without. would adding them count as a modification and affect insurance or anything? im quite tempted now

Hi,

My Sv costs £190 to insure including legal and PA. TPFT only as the SV is not worth that much anyways since it is cheaper to fix if I drop it! I am 21, 3 years riding experience now and no accidents in last 3 years and no points. Bike is locked in garage etc.

The quote was with Bike sure/Adrian Flux. It also includes riding all other bikes TP only which is useful.

As people have mentioned, the SV is a twin and works well when restricted. It is a lot of fun at legal speeds but the suspension and build quality are not as good as Honda/Yamaha but you don't pay the price!

My SV has them on the side. I have them listed on my insurance but the insurance company told me that on my policy only engine, suspension and handling mods will cause and increase in premium.

They come standard on the SV sport. Look at http://www.forums.sv650.org.uk

You can pick up and 08 plate for about £3k now. Brand new ones are about £4K and an old one like mine (1999) is worth between £500 and £2000 depending on mileage and condition. After coming up for 2 years ownership, only the reg/regulator has failed. Servicing and running costs have been very cheap compared to my car.

awsomee what year would you expect to get with 1800 quid? i know the milage would affect this and condition but just to give me an idea?.. ive seen an 04 plate with like 30k on it for around that price?

Not sure, have a look at the classifieds. GWR gerry I think is selling an 04 plate one for £2400 with 13,000miles.

You can have mine for £1800!

[Milky]

how much would you actually sell it for?

[scorpion]

Could be wrong here Tom but i'm pretty sure he give you a bloody big clue by saying you could have it for £1800

[Milky]

he was laughing when he sed it. which probably means its not worth 1800. aha! although i may also be wrong.

[MattGreaves]

Tom,

I currently have mine up for sale if you are interested. Was looking for a bit more than £1800, however I am willing to negiotiate. Have a look and PM me for more info/arrange a look...

I pay £150 a year tpft on my 400 bandit and im only 20 with three years no claims. Thats with carole nash that comes with free breakdown etc. Go for something naked or half naked to get some cheaper insurance.

that seems a bit expsenive to me. im 20 got 3 years no calims and paying £126 for fully comp and thats on my cb1 400
