At 5'7" he'd need a fucking ladder to get on a Uly.

:lol I had no idea! Strom! I think the 650 has lower seat height and he prolly wouldnt miss the extra weight or power of the 1000 off road...

Of the two, I'd go with the Strom.

Hmm. Really? I had mine (1100) for a little over 30,000 without a problem. Was this just on the 650s?

Yes every 4k on the 650. Don't know if the 950, 1100, and 1300 are the same.

One of my more stupid moves was selling my V Strom .. You owe your self a ride on it.

Captain Morgan 04-21-2010 01:35 PM

ugh, typed up a long reply, only to have my cell phone clear it out.

short version...didn`t like V-star, going with V-strom. also found out strom is `07, so kbb retail bumps up to 4585. However, bike has scratches on handlebar ends on both sides and scratches on left side rear grab bar like it was laid down in very low speed get off. will try to talk dealer down. applied for loan, just to see what numbers come back, but could buy outright if i take a little money out of roth ira. going to talk to dealer after work
