u know the previous bike owner???

22km per litre for some 650, 400s can get better.

 

You getting one? SVs not popular here in Sg, selling it might give you a big headache.

 

Go for the inline4s, easier to sell when you're sick of it. Come to think of it, don't think anyone of us here regret getting the SV.

Check out the advert for Isuzu Gemini TV commercial back in the 1980s. Cool car stunt.

For my SV400S, i get around 28km/ltr when i travel on highways..

But on city routes, i get a min of 26km/ltr.

Tt depends on the tyre pressure as well. on city roue, if my rear pressure is pumped to 250kpa (pillion config based on the manual), i can hit 28km/ltr n on highway can reach 30km/ltr!!!

 

Metalfyre, bring ur gf along lah!! Its not everyt year tt u can bring her to a fest wif bikes You can promise her tt its gonna be an unforgettable experience

[hsphalt]

pardon my ignorance....the 400 n 650 n 1000actually share the same body/frame and accessories but oni differ in the engine oni right? so if regardless i get which cc, the accessories or parts like exhaust/brake pads...etc should be able to inter-use or find...right ....then oni the pwr is differ.....correct me if i am wrong...

Hi all SV owners.

I am trying to upgrade to a SV650 from my s4 ver s.

So far, one of the best 2nd hand sv on sale (ok, actually it's the only one i have seen yet) is from an Ozzie expat, not sure if u guys are familiar with him.

 

http://www.singaporebikes.com/classifieds/...hp?siteid=36377

 

His SV looks gd, and oso its within my budget.

but i was wondering if any of the other SV650 owners here, or any that u know of, are intending to sell theirs.

I'm hoping that mebbe i could get a better deal, hehe..

 

I'm in the process of selling off my s4 ver s now, but the highest offer i know of now is 2.5k from a bikeshop... and I only have 1k, lack another $500 to top-up for the SV (not counting insurance and stuff).

 

so it seems like i either have to find some way to 'zong' that extra $500, or i find a SV cheaper than 4k (which is mainly why i'm here).

I'm someone who doesnt know the SV mkt rates and values now, so pls forgive me if I sound ridiculous in my expectations.

 

I welcome all advices and criticisms.

400s front end has a single brake disc which is larger than the 650 one. 650s have dual disc brake.

Brake pads wise should be different.

400s and 650s tailboard also different. 650s has pillion grab rails, 400s do not have (But if u got the spare $$, can fit in 650s tail board for 400)

For those going to the Bike Fest, for your info below:

 

Singapore Big Bike Fest

 

Dear Bikers,

 

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation for your support for the upcoming Singapore Big Bike Fest 2006! To date we have over 1000 registered bikers for the Bike Convoy!

 

However, it is with much regret that we have to postpone the BIG BIKE CONVOY to a later date due to the security concerns with regards to the IMF. We, the organizers are committed to make this happen and have already begun talks with the sponsors to put this together with possibly the help of Traffic Police.

 

As such, please stay tuned for the SINGAPORE’S BIGGEST BIKE CONVOY coming soon in October 2006!

 

We would still honor the discounted rate of $20 for the Rally Pack. Please bring your registration forms on 16th-17th September, Singapore Big Bike Fest 2006 event to enjoy this offer. The goodies in the rally pack have increased significantly, valued over $50/-!

 

There will still be Bike Parking at our event venue (CLARKE QUAY) if you are participating in the BEST BIKE CONTEST. So if you think you would like to show off your bike and try to win the honor of BEST BIKE, please let the parking marshals know. (limited to the 1st 150 bikes).

 

Let’s PARTY ON at the First Singapore Big Bike Fest 2006!

 

Yours truly,

SBBF Admin

actually I was agonising over the TDM and SV when i just got my cls 2. I finally thought of getting a TDM ultimately(no offense ah, bros here), but the sv is a more realistic aim for now lah... i dun actually want to upgrade one, cos now still a full-time student, but with a 1k+ COE coming up, i thought i could use the money to upgrade instead (plus there was some psychoing from our gd fren Metalfyre).

 

I thought i had my finance balanced swee swee liao, just top up 1k and a few extra hundred for insurance and to do up the bike.

but damn, nber expect the value of my s4 to drop so fast. Think we all need to revise our conception that s4 has better value retention. sianz, how come this nber happened when i was buying it.

 

anyway gd luck in your search bro, I might have to cancel my plans if i really cant get a gd price for my s4.

wow, i guess you win for most fuel efficient SV.

 

at 30km/l, that means reserve light blink at 390km, full tank can reach 480km?? Thats touring bike range already

My reserve lite come on when i hit 320km (usually).

Max distance i tried with the fuel lite on was another 50km only... the max distance i tried is only 360km. I havent tried anything above that distance on a full tank.

If reserve lights up at 320km, how can that be 28km/l?

At my last pump, managed to hit 293km with only 12litre of petrol. Getting about 24km per litre.

I am home, taking care baby... sneak off to send this msg while my wife is looking after baby...

 

My Milage dropped from 20+Km/ltr to 18+Km/ltr... I am riding Expressway daily from Potong Pasir to Changi then another 5Km start/stop traffic to office...
