Long time ago, I **ALMOST** pulled the trigger on a V-Strom 650.
I have logged high mileage this year. MOST of it was touring. With jerry-rigged duffels, strap-tied to the luggage rack.
I was a bit disappointed in the not-so-smoothness of the Honda four. Although pleased no end with its fuel economy.
Now, I'm hearing from satisfied Wee-Strom riders. What does it for me...Cycle Ergonomics shows that the V-Strom 650 will fit me better.
I can spend money and invest frustration in dropped pegs, and raised seats - or sell and buy and have one that fits.
I love the retro look. If I were a rich man I'd keep it forever. But I'm far from rich.
I'm also far from the most logical. Trading...would, now, give me a net ZERO. What I owe is what it's worth. Big goose-egg.
Hanging on, is the smart plan. I had the expensive miles. The cheap miles are next year; and the following years.
But lust calls!
There is nothing like the element of passion to fuel a motorcycle purchase.
