Couldn't pass it up
Got a call from a buddy who has a VStrom 1000. Found this on his forum and sent me the info. First day on the web. Got some miles on it (42k) but always serviced and babied. It's an '06 and a 650.....and comes with service records and Givi bags. Picked it up for 2800.00. Get it tomorrow.

Wow, congratulations! That looks like a sweet bike in great condition at a nice price. Actually the color of your bike was what I was looking for when I bought mine. That's a beautiful color! I like my blue too though.
I hope you enjoy it and get many miles of fun out of it. I just reread your post, with Givi bags! You got a steller deal! The only thing I would suggest if you plan on doing any off road riding, I would invest in a skid plate. That oil filter sticking out unprotected made me nervous. I bought a cheaper plastic one on ebay that came from Greece. The cost was under a $100. It has been great and looks good on the bike.

Thanks herbie! I'm pretty excited....
I was wondering about that oil filter. I won't be doing any serious off-roading but we do have our fair share of dirt roads around here. I think I'll start shopping...

42k with full service records and a known history? That bike has a ton of life left in it. I think people get too hung up with miles on motorcycles for whatever reason. I have had two bikes with well past 100k miles on them. Age does more damage than mileage in most cases.

Well, hell, got it. It has a few minor cosmetic things I need to do but it runs like a top, shifts like a watch and no smoke or leaks from anything. Came with a nice array of added farkles including the Givi removable trunk. Nice young guy. Had all his ducks in order including informing me about all the known good and possible bad. Felt good about the deal.
This is after I unloaded it at home after a long drive. It now resides on my bike lift for a damn good butt sniffin'.

I learned something this evening, after years of China riding. ANYTHING for a Japanese bike is expensive, regarding farkles.
Like hell if I'm going to pay 200.00 for a freaking skid plate, Time to bust out the metal work.....

Good deal on the bike. I've owned three V Strom 650's the last being a 2017 XT. It is by far the best - love this bike. T-Rex crash bars, Givi Air Flow screen and Hepco Becker side case mounts with a set of Harbor Freight cases modified to fit. 8" snow outside with 6"-10" more forecast for today here in PA. But only 46 days till spring.

With our tight canyons up here, it's actually bigger than I was looking for. My eyes were seriously on a particular Duke 390.....but them this came along and I couldn't pass it up.
Now the "making it mine" begins.... That really is the fun part. Like your big bore kits, etc.....
