It's with a sad heart to say that I had to let my good old SV400N "curvy" go, I was offered an offer that I couldn't refuse. She was one cheeky little bike, best handling commuter I've ever

owned, flicking her in a corner and accelerate out of a corner or turn was always such a blast, she really woke you up in the morning with her huge growl on startups, had her for two years with zero problems, but time heals all wounds I guess, new tires and maybe a slip on for the Wee is on the cards.

Once I realized every manufacturer made more than one of each bike I knew I could replace anything I ever sold so it took sellers remorse away. I have sold a few “forever” bikes and have even had the opportunity to buy them back, to date I have not replaced even a single of my forever bike.

A pile of cash in hand is a good thing. Now you can look for good head on that next best bike you ever owned.

cheers,

Japanese market and a few others, came out a year or two before the 650. Friend had one when he was stationed at Kadena AFB in Okinawa.

Massive fun, she was geared for city urban commuting, had lots of power in any gear, front end would lift under power way to often 🤣

I know in Russia they were very popular, Japan basically restricted a 650 down to a 400cc for learners restrictions, not sure why, it only had about 15 horsepower less than the 650, the rest was untouched, but he'll, she basically joined my top 5 most favourite bikes list 😉

100% in agreement, sometimes owning too many bikes causes one of the two to be neglected, at least now she will be loved and cared for, and cash in the pocket is always a good thing

Several years ago I walked into the garage and saw I had 9 bikes ranked in there. I wanted to sell some stuff but was having a hard time making the choices because I liked them all. That is when I started my self self imposed rule that if a bike did not get ridden at least 1000 miles a year, it was put up fore sale. It made the hard choices very easy and once I started selling it felt as good as buying.

Currently back up to 6 bikes and actively trying to sell 3 of them and casually on a 4th. My goal is to get down to 2 bikes and I did that last year. It felt great to have a stack of fun money and an much less crowded garage. That lasted 2 days before my wife and I found another bike and were on our way to go get it.

I always liked the SV series, also didn't know a 400 was made.

I just surrendered/sold my 1992 BMW K75RT. Got it in 2015 after not owning a BMW for awhile, it had low miles and a good price. I have a soft spot for K75's having owned 3 and 100K miles on them. Took the RT to a some rallies, used it as my winter bike (great fairing!). I was putting no more then 1000 miles per year on it and was needing more garage space. The RT needed a few things to get it to 100%, and I am focused on my other two rides. A younger guy met my asking price (low, K75's are going cheap) and seemed excited to get it.

Glad you got the Wee to ride.

Like you've said "selling it feel as good as buying" very true words spoken there, also 100% in agreement with 1000 mile rule, basically the main reason why I let her go, I knew she would eventually be neglected

Love those K75's, I had two f650gs BMW's, brilliant reliable bikes, but maintenance and services got on the expensive side, a collector bought both in one go, I still miss them, but he'll the bank account seems to stay full with the Wee (and the SV)
