Bike has 35k on the clock, engine has 15k at this point. Engine had 7900 on it when installed. 4300 or trade for nice strom.

ScubaCinci Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I went from a 2001 FZ1 to a wee-strom for some of the same reasons. Big mistake for me. I sorely missed the acceleration of the inline 4 and on the strom I felt like I was constantly shifting due to the low redline. I sold it in 6 months. If I had to do it over again, I would have kept the FZ1 and bought a Strom 1K. I read somewhere that Kawasaki has a Versys 1000 which has an inline 4 tuned for adventure riding. That sounds nice.

GLWS You are a bigger fella than Brandt, but yeah you are not going to get Multistrada acceleration from either Vstrom. The 1000 does move down the road pretty good and has a nice power hit, the new 1000 that is coming out looks very nice. The Versys 1000 is just butt ugly IMHO, and is 100% pure street bike compared to a Vstrom. I have seen many Strom riders frustrate or embarrass sport bike riders, but we all know that is more rider than machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm really torn. I just thought I'd see if there was any interest in my scooter :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Ride one first if you can. It's a shame that it's hard to get a test ride on something you are going to spend considerable $ on. Maybe Suzuki is doing demo days somewhere nearby soon.*EDIT* looks like JulyAMA Pro Road Racing - Mid-OhioJuly 12, 2013 - July 14, 2013Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course - Lexington, OH Edited June 11, 2013 by ScubaCinci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Looks very nice. GLWS. I've already got an FZ, but if you're interested in parting out the suspension or trading for stock + $, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 For anyone interested, anything this guy owns is meticulously maintained and clean as a virgin meatwhistle. The bike is in great condition and suspension work alone makes it a track worthy specimen for anyone looking into a triple duty sport/tour/track bike.If I had room in my stable, I'd pick it up for sure.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well I've still got her. I'm thinking if someone brought me 2500 bucks, they could leave with it. The Magura master cylinder is being moved to the sv, but will still have the braided lines, with stock master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Good choice for Jackflash, especially since he seems to be wanting an FZ1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
