How similar is that Vstrom to the SV650?
I like the looks of the Vstrom way over the SV, and if it can go offroad slightly as well then thats a huge benefit for a Green Mountain Boy out here... Does it have the same engine and similar handling through twisties and highway running?

Just have to wait till after the MSF (next week) to buy.

Except for the bike I couldn't resist bidding on, but lost :cry:

That new Suzuki cruiser is one bad "O Ring" bike (if you like cruisers).Image

I personally keep looking for an old Motoguzzi V7 on e-Bay.

Eldorado please.

those are way too weird for me. I would feel like that clutter would fall off the bike when at speed.

Also, I dont know why people say the V-Strom is ugly! I guess enough people find them attractive enough to purchase.

I'm kinda liking the idea of customizing my bike a bit. This photo is inspirational.

One more - awesome in black. And I love the megaphone exhaust. This makes me think the Concours may have to wait a while.

I really dig the lower fairing look on that first one... and the tail. That bike looks good in solo mode.

Although, a concours would be pretty sweet too... why not have both?
