Just completed the basic rider course and got my endorsement this weekend. Been on the lookout for a good beginner bike -- thinking an injected SV650. Craigslist seems to be the only real good resource I've found but it's pretty hit or miss. eBay lists nothing close. Any good resources for used bikes? Thanks!

www.svrider.com is good if you are looking for a SV.

A little out of my way, but good luck with the sale!

Hey that is a nice bike

I rode it from Columbus to Philly and back in a weekend with no problems so it is up for the trip.

Alright, I'll leave it up to you. Now you can post whore it elsewhere so I can finally sell it

Craigslist seems to have the most affordable bikes. There's a couple places like Cycle Trader also. That's a popular bike for adventure riders, so advrider.com would be another place to browse.

Pulled the trigger on a local CL find today. Not the lowest priced one I've seen but it did come with brand new tires, new battery, new K&N filter, new exhaust, a cover, Haynes manual, and the original owner's manual which was nice.

Nice find! If you like the naked style better I can set you up with a stock single round headlight.

You'll need to log in to post.
