Casper Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'm thinking about letting her go. I know, I know. Before all the boos and questions, let me explain myself. I bought this motorcycle before little man was even a thought. I'd been taking trips on sportbikes and realized I wanted something more comfortable. So I sold the ZX10 and bought this Vee. It's been amazing for every mile. I can honestly say I love this bike. However, with little guy, it's hard if not impossible to get away for a week or more for a motorcycle trip. I found myself taking Carie's 600RR to the Gap both times, and even for trips to Hocking. So I bought myself a twisty toy last weekend. I thought about keeping the Vee around, and I still might. But I've been tossing the idea of buying a dualsport now that I have a sportbike again. I've postponed the Alaska trip twice because I just can't leave for that long with little guy at home. So I'm going to hold of for a few years and enjoy the weekend rides. So here it is:2006 Suzuki VStrom DL1000Best color they made 9,500ish milesFresh Amsoil oil change (as in zero miles, just did it)Newer tires on it (around 1000 miles I think)Brand new Dunlop set comes with itGeneric top boxHappy Trail side luggage (aluminum, powdercoated, etc)Good size tank bag with map pocket, etcTwo power outlets under seatTool tube mounted to top boxGarage door opener modThe plate on the handlebar with velcro is for my iPod controller.Close-up pic is of a dent on the gas tank, only blemish on the whole bike. As you can see, it is barely noticeable. I'll throw in a front stand I bought specifically for this bike.$5,999 obo for everything and I'm open to trades. I'm negotiable if you don't want the boxes, tires, etc. For instance, these boxes will fit most dualsports, so I wouldn't be upset keeping them. For trades, I'm interested in quads, dualsports, supermotos, etc. I can work with partial trades. Whatever. Shoot me a PM. Worst I can say is no thanks.

Pokey Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I sometimes miss mine Ben, but would go with the new 2012 650 if I were to give a Strom another try.

Casper Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 thats why they make duct tape. If it were socially acceptable and relatively safe to take him on the bike with me, I'd be all about it. Soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
