You have the first gen right? How is the wind protection? The fairing on gen 1 looks rather small compared to the new ones.

I've never been a fan of any motorcycle that doesnt have a huge dealer network and a good reputation. Fisher, Hyosung, are def at the bottom of my list for any bikes I would ever own. Not saying they are bad, I really don't know except their reputation says not great. I do know that if my honda breaks down, there is a dealership 20 minutes from my house and I can very easily get any parts for it within a few easy days, same for used parts.
Other bikes, like KTM, bimoto and the like I would lump into the same category, they have great reputation, but I've never seen a bimoto dealership, and the only KTM dealership Ive seen closed down just as soon as it opened up. Being a motorcycle boutique doesn't inspire confidence in me. You can get parts on the internet easily, but being able to pick up brake pads, or an oil filter without having to wait a week is a great thing Other people may feel different about this, but this is just my take on the subject.

I'm no expert, but that seems about right for an SV650

3k for an 03 with under 20k miles seems about right for that area.

Considering you could buy brand new SV's for only 6K almost every year they were in production, I think 3K for an 8 year old one is overpriced.
