    Enough of the sport bikes and cafe racers. Thinking about getting this girl next year:

    Any opinions? I'd like to have a GS but I don't need all that offroad capability, I'm totally fine with 100hp and I'm not spending 18k+ on a bike.

    • Oh, forgot to mention its a Suzi Vstrom 650 XT (70hp). Also available with 1000cc (100hp)mekk
    • Look at the Triumph Tiger also. A friend of mine picked one up for 6K USD used with only 10K miles on it and absolutely LOVES it.GM278

    • For 6k it even came with all the panniers etc.GM278
    • hmm availability and dealership network is not great here in south germany. I want to test ride for a day before buying one.mekk
    • And its a 3-cyl right? I wanted to switch from my 4-banger to a twin or v2 because I like the torquey riding style :) hows the 3cyl there?mekk
    • That Triumph motor is awesome. (I'm biased on 3 cyl.) Read the reviews. The Triumph crushes the V-Strom in every aspect.GM278
    • Just found this: http://advrider.com/…GM278
    • Don't really see where the Tiger crushes the Wee, it's a totally different bike imomekk
    • I'm saying it crushes it. :P That forum seems to lean towards it is all.GM278
    • Thanks for the input man :) But I think the wee is just right for me and my budget. The Tiger would be a few years older and much higher mileage in my budgetmekk
    • I had vstrom and now I have a Tiger. The Tiger is the better bike but there's nothing wrong with the vstrom either. I loved it when I had it & v reliable.JerseyRaindog
