Or is it a Smart mans Ducati Monster?

Brand new Monster 797 vs SV650A:
Both have non-adjustable suspension, roughly the same HP, ABS, trellis frames. You can get both with the colour red on them somewhere.

Monster 797 MSRP: $10595
SV650A MSRP: $8399

After riding for 40 years I figured out SEXY bikes are beneficial if you’re looking for co-riders into “Property Of” or “Village People” tee shirts.

Gimme an SV. I’ll use the extra cash for an annual Mexican vaca.

2006 SV650s $5000. Don’t see the value for that price.

I could fix that triple tree clamp problem for you in about 1 minute,
but I wager you need to replace some things in the front forks.

I used to see this SV when I worked downtown near Kensington market. So poorly kept, same goes for so many bikes that show up here - I'd go back to my SV after work, and till the day I sold it, it looked just like it came out of the Suzuki dealership.




Walking DT, i'd see so many neglected bikes people had, rusted chains, finished brakes, and by far the most, useless tires with no tread left. If people can't afford a set of $40 brake pads, why get into motorcycles to begin with. On the opposite end, like the CB750, people go and destroy a bike.

those forks look correct

I guess only the odd ones had their triple trees slide part way down the stanchion tubes

Some poor sod is going to buy that motorcycle, take it to a shop to have it certified
and the mechanic is going to take one look at the front suspension and say WTF

Not a problem a pair of Ohlins dampers, one on each side, won't solve.

look at his stanchion tubes sticking out of the top of the top yoke.
and lack of front suspension travel.

Jack up the Stickers & VIN and slide a better motorcycle under it.

My sarcasm font is offline.

Then again, my forks are raised in the triple clamps an inch and a half just like that.

What in the actual hell? $6500 for a 93 ninja 250 in cruiser form, complete with rear drum brakes.

Good time to trade your motorcycle for a snowmobile, we might get enough snow
for a few weeks.

I'll drag my fridge out back, drop it on it's side, then sit on it. Same thing.

I guess its been a while, new sleds are comfortable as fk,

I'm sure you realize that raising the forks in the triples may affect handling but does not impact length of travel at all right.

Its all fun and games until the forks bottom and plant the front wheel/fender through the front of the radiator.

Well I'm assuming that if you're raising the forks you are aware of the maximum travel and minimum clearance requirements.
If the front fender and wheel can contact the radiator you've done it wrong lol.

You know what happens every time you assume....?

True enough. Fortunately I'm the only one who ever touches my bikes, and at 6 foot I've never lowered a bike.
I did attempt to lower a 650 bandit for my wife with ****** results. So we did what we needed to, sold the bandit and found a bike that fit her properly.
As far as others I can only advise proper research and understanding before lowering any bike.
