psyco1 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Are those Givi E45's on the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yup, E45. Huge. They render the passenger pegs useless, too. I had to make custom footpeg mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garvinzoom Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just went up to ASK off of Brice road, no V-Strom....blaming the Tsunami. They have one at Treadway in Zanesville but I was trying to get some competitive pricing going on, anywhere else in Columbus to look for them?

CoolWhip Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 where ya takin' it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I went to ASK on the east side, just off 70. They deal they gave me wound up with me OTD for a couple hundred less than the MSRP. (no trade-in, outright cash purchase) I had to order the bike and wait a week or two, but it came in and I picked it up no problems. I found them to be nice people and very easy to deal with.The other dealers in this area are all demanding MSRP at least, and some are charging 275 "freight" on top of that. I was quoted from 8650 to 9200 OTD from the other dealers in the area. They blamed the Tsunami for lack of inventory too.Honda East in Maumee were listing the bike at 7299 and they quoted me 7950 OTD. I would have gone up there if ASK hadn't matched that deal for me.Other places list it below MSRP too.http://www.cycletrader.com/Suzuki-V--Strom+650+Abs-Motorcycles/search-results?type=Motorcycle|356953&make=Suzuki|2320128&model=V--Strom+650+Abs|764861470&year=2011:*&zip=43015&radius=250&sort=year:desc Edited April 15, 2011 by Scruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) So how many miles you put on that baby per year?400 miles so far. Only had the bike 2 weeks. Gonna be doing 250/wk just in commuting, then add weekends... Edited April 16, 2011 by Scruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm not affiliated with this, but thought it may be attractive to someone. I'm digging the SV, but would seriously consider a DL for a next bike.http://dayton.craigslist.org/mcy/2328072780.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco1 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 If you're going to do much touring or commuting or any questionable roads I'd go for the DL. More comfortable, better protection, suspension that eats up pot holes and bigger aftermarket for touring farkles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
