good deal... the new 250s are great but considering they are almost twice as much as a decent old 250 and people might not keep them a long time before upgrading, the old 250 is still a better deal IMO.
More SV questions:

- how much do u think it would cost to PC the rearsets black?
- easy to remove the passenger grab bar things?
- how much does a rear seat cowl cost?
- what are common suspension mods? how hard is that shit to do? will i even notice the difference?
- how much mileage should u get out of the stock tires? (whats a good replacement?)
