Scruit Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 After much reserach I settled on the 650 V-Strom. After speaking with about half a dozen bike dealers I got my best price at Ask Powersports on the East side. New, in black. Deposit is down, bike is on order, will arrive in about a week.

Scruit Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I don't need the power of the 1000. And I don't ride 2-up other than with my 7yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 If I wanted fast I'd buy a hayabusa. I want practical commuting with high mpg and the occasional 1-up multi-day trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Although the Wee is not the right bike for everyone, it IS the right bike for me. Just like my choice in cars over ther years. I've never had a car that everyone has liked - there's always been someone who didn't like what I drove. That's fine. - YOU may need to go 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, but I don't. - YOU may need to carry 7 screaming kidlets to soccer practice, but I don't. - You may need to pick up girls, but I don't (my wife would kill me if I did. Or maybe she'd want to join in and make it a 3some??) BRB, going to buy a Porsche...It's one of the biggest overall differences I've seen between the US and my native country England... Brits ask themselves "What do I NEED?" Americans ask themselves "What do I WANT?" This is why we have so many single people commuting in a Hummer or a huge pickup the US. You don't see that in England. That's not a dig on American or anything - just different thought processes leading us to be content with different things.
