I don`t have much money, but i want to buy an used Suzuki SV 650 S 99-03. how much should i pay?



it`s not necessary to be a top bike, i can do some repairs myself. i need some advice to close a good deal.

brand new sv's are only 6000. so you should be able to get a pretty decent used one from someone (as long as they are reasonable) for about 3000. check around i am sure you will find one in your price range that won't take too much work. Source(s): motorcycle technician 25yrs

My brother and I bought 2 new bikes for a summer vacation. His 1200 Bandit leaked gas and ruined the motor before it got 2000 miles. We asked Suzuki to replace the motor so we could go on vacation.
They said it鈥檚 to expensive and would cost $3000. After 4 months and the vacation gone they got the motor rebuilt at a their cost of $3700. The dealer wanted to replace the motor but Suzuki squashed that.
The gas stained cases and burnt exhaust pipes were not replaced. The bike got nicked and scratched all over from being apart for so long. The rep rode it and looked at it, then said it鈥?good as new. It ran like crap and looked worse.
We called Japan for nothing, and even wrote the US CEO all for nothing. We spent $15,000 for the bikes to get ripped off. We spent our vacation hassling with Suzuki, and not one person there gave a F! Beware Suzuki鈥檚 warranty is not worth the paper it鈥檚 printed on! Buy one of their lemons are get ripped off like we did!
Suzuki ripped off a man dieing cancer and stole his only chance for a summer motorcycle vacation with his brother while he was still healthy enough to go. We did everything possible to make our vacation happen and we were insulted by the Suzuki rep. Not one person anywhere in Suzuki鈥檚 entire organization cared one whit.
It perfectly OK to rip off a dying man and steal his only chance for a vacation after we spent $15,000. What ever you do run from buying any Suzuki. If you get a lemon you鈥檙e screwed and no one there will care. It happened to us it can happen to you.
$3000 max.

I ride a Suzuki Boulevard and I'd buy another one, too. The other guy has an obvious axe to grind. Suzuki isn't the make a wish foundation.
Depending on where you live for 99-03 no more the $5,000
If you want one real cheap ($1500) and can do minor repairs, I would recommend one with a salvage title. Don't expect to get back what you put into it by the time your ready to sell it though.
