Thinking of getting a "Wee" V-Strom. anyone had/Have one?

Been reading' up over at advrider and stromtrooper etc. just wanted to see if anyone here had anything to say concerning the "Wee."




EDG1911, I have an '06 WeeStrom and it's absolutely a fantastic bike. I've put close to 14K miles on it and have never had any real problem with this bike. I commute on it, as well as tour. Great handling all-around motorcycle. My only problem is not related to the bike at all; I have pain at the base of my neck that bothers me - so I am looking to move over to a cruiser type motorcycle. However, I have riding buddies tell me to buy a new helmet from Shoei, because it's lighter than what I currently have (older Shoei RF900). I guess that might be a solution, but anyway I'm getting off the point; I think you cannot go wrong with the VStrom 650 if you are looking for a standard "do all" type motorcycle. JMHO.

Here is a picture of my bike when I was riding down PCH 1 from Monterey to Orange County. Pic is at Carmel (boy, now I know why all the rich folks live there!)



I've added all sorts of "farkles" to it, including SW-Motech detachable sideracks with GIVI E21 cases. A Magstad adjustable set of brackets for the windshield is highly recommended - unless your into wind buffeting.
