    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

      If you want a second set of eyes to check it out, I am currently located in Warren MI, so I could come over pretty easily.
      PM me if you want.

              Nice pics, but I thought a V-Strom was supposed to be a DS bike, all those with the exception of Brian's, which sorta kinda passes, look like full on road bikes????

                  I have a 05 SV1k

                  It's a good bike, love the torque. Handling is good, could be better especailly after the suspension gets a few miles on it.

                  Works good on the track.



                  and as a sport touring bike.

                        Bought an '01 SV650 naked yesterday. No pictures yet.

                        So VERY different from my old GR. Technology has apparently moved on since the early '80's. Who knew?

                          I expect you will like it after you get used to it.

                            I believe you are correct, Sir, I believe you are correct.

                                Thought I'd get a blue first gen, but then I saw this one. This is an '01 with 9700 miles, Buell footpegs, Progressive springs, R6 throttle, Kawasaki 636 shock. Pretty much as I want to set it up.
