What's wrong with it?

I've just bought a replacement for my dead SV650s....

....another SV650s. In yellow, with bits (lowers, cowl, screens,
hugger, ART can) 2001 Y Reg with 8.5k.

Why was it so damned cheap? I got a (I thought) very measly £2.8k for
the write off of the previous SV (2000/W, 13.5k, other bits of
damage[1] asides from the write-off[2] stuff). The replacement has
cost me less[3], considering the bits[4]/miles/age.

Chuffed? Ur.. yup![5]

[3] about £1 less
[4] I'm not arsed about the cowl + hugger, but I was considering the
others before the write-off.
[5] ish. I was thinking about a VFR800 but the insurance company
wanted £1700!

A post telling us how amazed you were with your new cheap SV.... which
doesn't actually tell us how much it was.

 

he got £2800 from the insurance and paid £1 less for the replacement....

Clue... £2799

 

In

£2799 at a guess?

 

Yeah that's all very well for bright people but what about the stupid bikers
amongst us, we have to make an uneducated guess ;-)

another question? hold on I will ask the wife again

 

Ah, but that's using standard arithmetic.
I'm sure I could get a different answer if I used Non-Euclidean geometry.
OK, OK, it's not arithmetic, but Non-Euclidean stuff is right confusing,
almost as much as Quantum theory.

Did you get the old one back for spares?

 

No. Why would I want to? I can't tell the open end of a spanner from
the, er, other end of a spanner[1].

And to answer everyone else... "£1 less" "considering the
bits[4]/miles/age" 2800 -1 +50ish(hugger) +150ish(can) + 96ish(miles)
= £3095.

But, bad news to add to that. The DT's clutch has got very mangled
somehow, engine apart jobby, coupled with it's unreliability traits,
I've decided to cut my losses on it and sold it for £450.

The difference is usually 1mm.

 

Self, self, self. You should've got it back so *I* could get spares off
you. Thanks a bunch, matey.
