Friday Forum Foraging: 2008 Suzuki SV650 With Only 20 Miles!
No, that's not a typo.
Loyal Motorcycle.com readers will know I have a soft spot for the Suzuki SV650 – as many people do. A lot's been said about what a great bike it is and how it can please riders of all ages and skill levels. Many of us are also of the mindset that the earlier, pre-Gladius and pre-SFV650, versions are more desirable. The problem is that, as time goes on, earlier models are getting harder to find – at least in good condition.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, look no further. Up for grabs (at least at the time I'm writing this) is this 2008 SV650 with, get this, only 20 miles on it. Twenty. It's cherry from top to bottom thanks to it being stored indoors and even comes with factory extras like the lower fairings and frame sliders. Otherwise, it's all original even down to the OE tires.
Sweetening the deal even further is the asking price: Only $4,450!
The bike is being offered for sale at Cottage Lake Motors, near Monroe, Washington. Copied below is the seller's description from their Facebook page. If you're interested, here's a link to the Facebook post with the seller's contact information and more pictures.
This '08 Six Speed Suzuki SV650 S has accumulated 20 actual miles during its lifetime. Not 200 or 2000. 20 actual miles. We got it with 18 miles but wanted to make sure everything worked as it should. It has not been modified or Hot-rodded. Lovingly stored inside and looks it.
It has a new battery and fuel pump.
It comes with the owner's manual and toolkit.
This bike is being sold through my dealership in Monroe, Cottage Lake Cars on Destination Alley.
Feel free to call to set up a viewing, I try to work by appointment on the weekends.
Thank you.

20 miles? So every single rubber seal etc is going to leak. Sauce: I bought a way-low-miles-for-its-year car once. This thing will be leaking oil and coolant from all kinds of places once it's run hard.
Tempting! But a machine sitting for 15yrs is bound to have/develop problems.
I wish Suzuki would sell a new, fully faired SV650
