....and the Winner Is.....!
Sold the V-Strom yesterday to my neighbor....but for the last few weeks, I've been immersed in research.
It's been a toss up between the DR650 (for its overall simplicity) and the DRZ400S (for it's better suspension and almost 40 pounds lighter).
Honestly, it came down to availability.....so this popped up on CL. I called the guy immediately.
2007 DRZ400S with only 7500 miles on it, owned by a senior citizen, serviced regularly, and always garage kept. The price was right too, especially for CA.
Biggest problem? It's already totally blinged out! Big tank, tail tidy, Barkbusters, and everything. Yes....the guy probably saved me a grand, but blinging is half the fun! Right Jerry???
Thankfully, it needs tires! Half-wore-out knobbies suck on the street. That leaves me something to blow dough on! Gotta do something about the funky graphics, too.
Anyway, a new steed in the 2LZ stable.
