Suzuki V-Strom 650: Bought it today
I am looking for another bike and the wee strom has piqued my interest. Has anybody here owned one before? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I never owned one. The magazine reviews are all favorable. The engine is one of the strongest in the middle weight class. Just find one in good condition.

It's an SV650 with some off road credentials. That motor has been around for over 2 decades, with constant improvements over its life. Probably one of the most bulletproof engines out there.

Thanks Dan, that's good information to know! A lot of people seem to be very impressed with the wee strom. I am in active pursuit of one now. I have a few in my sights. The guy with the yellow v- strom I looked at today just bought a new VFR 1200 and boy it's a beautiful bike, I can see why you have one, his has a single sided swingarm. I can't remember if yours has that or not but it's pretty impressive looking, I'd like to take a rip on it :tup: |

As far as the 1200's, yes they are very handsome bikes, and they all had a single sided swing arm. https://i.ibb.co/gm5PTn5/38392469-10...94004480-n.jpg |

I liked the V-Strom 650 the Best. It has a smoother running engine, with smooth performance, weighs less and performs better. And the 650 weighs a lot LESS! It’s also easier to work on! Good Luck! PCG |

That is a really nice blue. Congrats on the new bike!
