|  Good deal or possible rip off?
Ok so ran into a guy the other day who i KNOW has been looking to sell his SV650S. So i finally give him the nod that im interetsted. Turns out he just got rear ended by some SUV at a stop sign. Bike went down. Some fairing damage and his elbow put a dent in the tank. Bike is a 2003 SV650S. Full micron exhaust re-jetted, power commander, with 1700 miles on it. He wants 4 grand. I told him i was interested but wouldn't buy the bike with the dent in the tank or the fairing scratched, so he is gonna have the hole blown out, and replace the fairing. There is also a place down here that i can take it to and they have a frame jig so they can see if the frame is jacked from when it went down. What am i missing? Should i just walk away? I mean if the frame isnt bent the bike should be good to go. As long as a certified mechanic looks at it and gives it the thumbs up i shouldn't be worried, or should i? |
