There is a new addition to my little family - a blue 2003 Suzuki SV650K fuel injected V-Twin.
Specs:
* Previously owned by one of my favorite customers, Kurt Kleppek, whom I sold a GS500E to a few years ago. He recently traded in the SV I sold him for a Bandit 1200. His propensity for treating his motorcycles like they were his own children was a definite factor in my recent (yesterday) purchase.
* 11,700 miles, stock pipe, no scratches, new rear tire
* $3,000.00 + tax, title & license (avg. retail between $3100 and $4100 according to the NADA book)
* 5.99% interest through MMCU (or lower as I have yet to determine tomorrow) for 48 months with payments at $77.00/month
* $200/year insurance compared to my previous rate of $600 for the '99 Honda VFR800
* About 69 rear wheel HP (not bad for a 650) and approx. 50 MPG for gas
* THE perfect track bike
** Smile which occupies Laura's face...
Absolutely FRIGGIN' Priceless
