SV and V Strom Owners

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.

SAWEEEEEEET!

I certainly love riding my GS, but there have definitely been some improvements in motorcycles over the last few decades...

Honestly, I didn't know the nekkid SV650 was available in that dark red color. Very cool. And that one seems to have several nice tweaks, like the frame sliders and stainless brake lines. Not sure about the tank bra, but that's a matter of taste.

Congrats!

Thanks, Brian! I'll be interested to see what you think of it when you get a chance to look it over in person. I've seen a lot of the S models in this color, but apparently it was available as naked as well.

It is a VERY different ride and I am still getting used to it. Taking it fairly easy until I feel more confident on it. Have to figure out how to set the rear shock. Seems a bit stiff for my taste, but I haven't figured out how to change the setting yet.

Love the torque--great engine in this bike.

Is the 1000 version, the same motor that's in the TL 1000? If it is, I've been thinking of getting a mid 90's model.

Love that V-twin grunt.
