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!

Thanks for the info, that's interesting! I test rode the blue one today and I was very impressed with the power and the smooth engine. I used to have a 2014 Kawasaki Versys 650 and I loved the power of that little twin but it had quite a bit of vibes but the Suzuki was butter smooth. I was cruising I thought at 60mph and looked down and was running 92mph! I love it, now to find the right one, I absolutely love the blue color but the yellow bike had tons of added stuff with it, I figured somewhere in the $1500 worth of stuff and he only wants $3300 so I may go back to the yellow one.
