Title: Why do some just farkle and stare. Bikes were made to be ridden.
Post by: Other Brother on March 31, 2017, 04:00:36 PM
I have been in the market for a more street oriented bike than my DR650.  I was looking at the Tiger and  Tenere but came across this 2014 V-Strom 1000 Adventure with a whole lot of bling, only 1000 miles and a price I couldn't walk away from.  I've only put a few hundred miles on it so far but I think this is going to work.  Maybe change the bars and find some kind of cruise and it's all good.  I think I am going to be happy with this bike.

Life is good.

Good on you. I think it is a fine bike, not my cup of tea, but I certainly wouldn't criticize it. I really like the DL650 Adventure.

Are those sidecases expandable. They look awfully narrow. I know BMW had some expandable hard cases a few yeas back for the F650 and F800

The bags are not expandable and are very small.  I went with the 1000 because I was looking for more of an asphalt princess that can handle two up.

Nice bike, I like it!

I like it!  I picked myself up a DL650 Adventure a few weeks ago and loving mine.  Can't go wrong with a Suzuki   ;D
