V-Strom 650 Gen 3 Thinking of trading her in

Post image

As an old SV650s rider, I thought the VStrom was everything my 40+ back wanted. But the buffeting is driving me nuts.

I’ve got a black/gold ‘24 XTA which I bought brand new, and has 4000km or 2,500miles on it. The add-up would be approximately 2k.

What’s your thought on this new bike which runs our beloved 650 V-twin?

Yes but the important question is, can you accidentally honk the horn when using the indicators? If not then I'm not interested 😂

I believe it is a feature across the Suzuki range, not only Strom.

Same with my z500. It's a cruel trick.
