Got home from work today and had an e-mail from a local auction house, they had a 2001 Suzuki SV650S auction closing this evening. It supposedly runs and starts, has 6,400 miles, but the front brake lever doesn't work and the tires look like they are original from 2001, very dry rotted. It's last inspection expired in 10/10 so it probably hasn't been on the road in 12 years.
I threw out a bid of less than half what I thought it was worth. Bidding didn't even get up close to that and I won it.
After resurrecting half a dozen ninjettes I think I'm ready for another project.

My guess is you scored if for ~$1500, anywhere near that is a firm steal, that is a solid bike!
Soooooo...how are you going to dude up the commuter?
