2006 SV1000S; light mods; custom pearl white

Picked up something a little more comfortable, so this one's got to go! Price dropped and taking reasonable offers!

A bit of history about the bike: I traded for the bike wrecked and repo’d in 2008, but with a clean title and mechanically sound, 5000 miles on the clock. There was cosmetic damage, but everything was straight and true so I rode it as a ‘streetfighter’ for a long time. The front suspension was swapped for GSXR components and I put some money into fixing it up properly; new fairings and lights went back on, and I had the whole thing professionally painted by Landric’s Customs. It’s now a totally new bike, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

The details:
2006 SV1000S
20,8XX miles (actual is lower; a few thousand were with very different sprockets w/o speedohealer)

2005 GSXR 600 front end, using SV wheel and axle
GSXR 4-piston calipers
Woodcraft 3” adjustable clipons (set stock-ish currently)
HEL braided stainless brake/clutch lines
Pazzo replica adjustable clutch/brake levers
Symtec heated grips (excellent for 3+ season riding!)
Puig double-bubble windscreen
Flush smoke turn indicators
OEM lower fairings, paint-matched
Nucular no-cut frame sliders
Techspec C3 3-piece tank grip pads
12 o’clock Labs SpeedoDRD healer
Motobatt battery (new this year)
Suzuki OEM gel and stock seats
Suzuki OEM pillion seat and seat cowl
Standard footpeg brackets w/ Buell (lower) peg mod
K&N air filter/desnorkled
Quick-release tank pins
Custom exhaust midpipe by Motofab
Slipon carbon-fiber Delkevic tri-oval canisters w/quiet inserts
Supersprox Stealth sprocket set, 17/44(+2), RK chain (less than 1500 miles)
Continental ContiMotion 120/70-17 F and 180/55-17 R (less than 2k miles)
Brilliant pearl white paint (Audi S4 spec) by Landric’s Customs
Oil changed recently (~1500m ago?); Mobil 1 20w50 synth, OEM filter

Also included is a 2007 (I think!) GSXR 750 shock that I never got around to installing. Seems to be in good nick though.

I’ve put a lot of money and work into getting this bike the way I like it, and I’m sure someone else will be able to appreciate it.

The bad: obviously the bike was wrecked when I bought it, but the title is clean. It has seen a very low-speed lowside at the end of my driveway (someone thought it was a good idea to dump gravel there, which I didn’t see at night...), so there is a minor scrape on the lower fairing, exhaust, and slider. It also fell off the paddock stand once; there is a very minor ding in the tank where the clipon made contact.

tl;dr: sweet, sweet ’06 SV1000S with lots of tasteful work done. Asking $4800 (Price drop 3/21: $4600). I’m certainly open to trades and offers, so shoot me an email or PM!. Bike is located in Quincy, MA.

Thanks for looking!

Price drop for the spring equinox! Bust out the candles and pray to Cthugha, Rhan-Tegoth, Y'golonac, and Janai'ngo (y'know, or whomever) for warm weather.

$4600.

Fuggin' aye, I like the look of that!

Think I told you in another thread but that thing is beautiful. Good job on it and Good luck!

Seriously...having just got rid of my TLR and thus currently being street-worthy bikeless, this thing makes it incredibly hard NOT to make an impulse buy...

Ya fuckin' kak!

So it's going to be 60 next week... who wants a new bike to ride?

I hate to clutter up sale threads but I can't believe this thing has not sold. Gorgeous bike, the contrast from the white paint, exhaust and grip pads sets that thing off.

Thanks! I guess it's not selling because of the price, but the time and money that have gone into it is totally worth it. I'm already taking a huge hit on the sale, but it's gotta go!

Offers? Trades? My girlfriend needs a car for a new job; looking for a reliable hatchback/wagon, auto (I want her to learn stick, but... :D)

I MAY be taking a closer look at this when I get back from vacation. Yarottenmiserableprickya...

Let me know! I've got one interested party coming this afternoon but if it's still around I'll keep it ready-to-ride for ya!

Gone. Farewell sweet prince :mecry:
