ETA: I bought a brand new V-strom, no further advice needed
Original post:
Ok, i can`t afford a new Vic or Harley right now, but the Vic dealer has a 2007 650 V-Star classic with 5500 miles or a 2006 V-strom 650 with 7200 miles. I`m going to ride both and may buy one of them. Both are $5k. I will be making field calls for work with all types of road surfaces from dirt to interstate. I need the ability to lock up case files and a laptop, but both offer that ability as hardbags can be added to either. what do you guys think of each bike?
