Funny, I tried keeping up with iDave once. He was riding a Tuono and I was on a FULLY loaded DL1000. I crashed into the side of a mountain, lol.

That said, the DL1000 is the best all around bike I've ever had...and I hear a lot of people talk about how they actually like the 650 better. Go for it dude, its a great bike.

Oh - and I kinda want one too, but personally I'd scoop one up at 3500~4500 pre-farkled in the ADV flea market!

As for 'fair' for the SV, I'd like to get 2k on trade but I doubt I will get it.

*sigh* I think Im jealous. I may need to go make myself ill sometime this week and see what kinda deal I can find. Hubby needs a bike, I need an ADV bike to borrow...

Great bikes!

Ugly, but great bikes.

get it.......regardless of selling your bike or not

you know they're not gonna give you a "fair" amount on a humdrum SV w/ 20k.

what do you consider fair?

I say go for it... throw some knobbies on a spare set of rims and... welcome to adventure touring

Any thoughts on how much I'd get selling the SV outright?

It has the following:
- SW Motech center stand
- S to N bar conversion
- OEM Gel seat
- OEM Higher touring windscreen
- Buell lower footpegs (1" lower than stock.. stock pegs would be included as well)
- SV CF-lookalike tank protector

just curious....

To be honest, unless your selling to someone specifically looking for that SV, the mods are going to be pointless in the sale.

Untill he sells it and the sales guy hypes all the mods when they try to sell it.
