    New Ride

    Well finally picked up my new bike (Ordered it in january). My old bike (now my mothers) was a 2000 Yamaha V-star classic 650cc

    -Its a 2007 Suzuki V-Strom 650
    -Watercooled fuel injected 650cc DOHC 90* V-twin (67hp 44lbs/tq) redlines at 10,500rpm
    -6 speed trasnmishion with chain driven final
    -Factory optional hard luggage

    Picked it up with a whopping 0 kilometers showing on the odometer. Just put it in the garage with 121kms (nothing groundbreaking but fun none the less). And no matter how hard i try i cant wipe this grin off my face. Comfort is perfect, power is in abundance, style (like it or not) its deffintly differant, and hadeling is amazing. Granted anybody with a brand new bikes gona be raveing about it so im not gona say its without falts but so far im in love. Heres the few pics i have from today when i got home.







    And some of ya may have seen my old bike but here she is anyways (its still in the family so i will still get to ride it on the rare occashion)

    AGD 68 Automag, Azodin KP2, Sheridan PGP2, Tippmann Pro/Carbine, Crossover XVR, SL-68II, and TiPX.

    Always been a fan of V-stars, so I love your old bike

    But nice ride! Like you said, style wise it definitely looks different. Usually I don't like hard luggage on bikes but it looks pretty good on yours.

      Nice dude. Glad you like it. I've never heard of anyone who bought a V-strom and didn't like it.
      But man, is it weird lookin.
