Wooohooooooo!!!!! Getting a bike Saturday!!!!!

I looked at GW while I was up in PA..
OMG.. there's more buttons and switches than the Apollo 11 command module had.

Both Handgrips have a Controller installed that must be about 4 - inches wide and probably 10 - 12 inches top to bottom.. with about 20 switches and buttons each..

:ohwell: Still can't find the "wave" button.......

Yea I know this thread is about Vstroms and all but other people on other boards are saying the same thing.

:lol: 'cause it's an AWSOME bike :yahoo:
The "V" is my 8th bike and it's by far the best one

Yes the seat sucks, but Corbin and Sargent make replacements.
I added some risers to the handlebars that moved them back and up one inch, made a big difference.

Hell, Floyd can hijack any thread of mine any time he wants. Hell, if your okay with a naked bike, that opens up a whole different world, Floyd.
Here is a hot naked bike for you...
Triumph Speed Triple

Yeah, the Gen-Mars have caught my eye, but I'm going to pile on a few miles before changing anything.

Short list

1. Risers
2. Engine Guards
3. Top case

How many kidneys you guys think Floyd has?

I know right! That BMW is nice and all but id take the Triumph over it in a heart beat just because of looks.

BMW is like a caddy in the car world. I think only old people and snobs drive them HAHA

Man, I dont know. The Triumph is gorgeous and all, buuuut, BMW has such a way with elegance, parts just fit form and function together so well. I could study any BMW bike for an hour, finding new bits to admire. But I'm a nut for design. Asa seen by my love for the SRT-4, and now the Strom, I do like gettin it done as it can be. But I do admire the make it work AND look gorgeous too philosophy.

Looks like something a high school shop class student put together using spare parts from the recycle pile.

You should see the other bikes they make. All of them are hand built and if I'm not mistaken this runs about $65,000.

A young engineer I worked with before taking this new job ended up getting a used one of those for his first bike, as a matter of fact. Yes, a good choice, if you can find a used one for the right price.

Sv650 For Sale Craigslist - Yakaz Motorcycles


Heres what I did while searching for the V Strom.

Google, search term "V strom for sale craigslist" You end with a lot of out of area hits, but you never know. Try sv650 for sale craigslist, see what pops.

That bike has the same engine as mine, tuned more towards the hp range rather than torque, but not ridiculously so, by all accounts.
