Suzuki 650cc, forgot what year the guy told me it is, new front tire and rotor, all maintenance/service up to date, etc. Asking $1000 for it (a guy at work has it for sale). Gotta find out the year and mileage today.

Looks like a weeping head gasket.

650 single? Savage? Very low seat height. Easy to ride. Slow.

**dhuze** · 03-12-07, 07:19 AM

Oh wait! Are you talking about the vacume cleaner? Yeah thats perfect for a girl.

**Ri_De_bike** · 03-12-07, 07:20 AM

assuming it's a savage; single cyl engine, low seat height, peppy. downside is top speed, vibration, slower turn speeds. look for the usual, leaking seals, buring oil poor up-keep, honda ft 500 is a better single as is the srx 600. even a kawa 550 (kx or gpz) is a better model that you won't outgrow and will keep up while still being easy to ride. i know it's a short list and there are PLENTY of cycles that fit the bill.... depends on what you want, are willing to fix or have fixed. As always I think condition is the determining factor in price.

Harley wannabe.

Get a sport standard.

I am looking on Craigslist...

**Doc** · 03-12-07, 07:29 AM

Would have sold YOU the Ascot for $1000.....

**Dianne** · 03-12-07, 07:30 AM

When the guy first told me about it and said Suzuki 650, I was so hoping he was gonna say SV.

**Supah Dave** · 03-12-07, 07:37 AM

You can't race that thing, so what's the point of wasting $1000?

**Ri_De_bike** · 03-12-07, 07:43 AM

sv 650 for 1K? broken, folded er stolen maybe... or trade for "favors" seems unlikely.
here's a pict viewer for craigslist... nice tool for shoppers.

Yeah, I know. It was nothing more than wishful thinking on my part.

**Doc** · 03-12-07, 04:59 PM

Here's another...

1989 GS500- someone take it.

sv's are brand new hawks (which makes them a great bike, but nowhere near as cool

)

**Doc** · 03-12-07, 08:23 PM

Hmmmm... I have an idea. I know of a Hawk... for $1000... Needs a little work but between me ,scott , Gino Et all we might be able to make it a good runner....

What do you think D?

Sounds cool. I am not sure when I am actually going to be purchasing a bike as I have to save up for a bit. While doing so, I'll be taking the state offered safety class. If I can pass that, I automatically get my license. Then I figure in a couple seasons, once I am more comfortable riding, I may make the investment of something new. For now I just need something to tool around on.

safety course is def the way to go. the hawk would be a good bike for a year or 2 depending on your riding habits. then you'd likely want to get something with power (like a superhawk!

)

**breakdirt916** · 03-12-07, 11:12 PM

looks clean, and sounds like a good way to get into motorcycling

I don't recommend any of the older bikes linked to above...for a new rider, a mechanical nightmare can either get you killed or make you hate bikes forever

**Supah Dave** · 03-13-07, 03:11 AM

Buying an SV would be one thing, but buying that belt driven monstrosity in that pic would be a waste
