Opinions on a SV

I'd also be wary of that few miles on the SV - depending on how it was stored, you could be looking at a lot of dry rot (rubber bits and such) and brake line issues (moisture in the lines).

Just my .02

I was thinking about the parts too. Funny thing is I already have an extra seat for the 03 that I was going to send to Sargent to get refoamed. So if I get the 06, I have to look for another seat.

The 03 is stored outside (Logically, I would hope under a bike cover or some shade...) as my friend doesn't have a garage.

Girly question-- what do you think of the 06 color?
