[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 404, member: 118"] I will be the one downer here. My buddy had one for a year and sold it. He thought it was the jack of all trades, and master of none. Lack of wind/weather protection is what led him to sell it. I rode it on several occasions and just never took to it. I love my fjr and perhaps I am a sport-tourer kind of guy, cause despite all the rave reviews, the V-Strom didn't do anything for me. Sure it was ok, but boring. Didn't speak to me. Different strokes for different folks I guess, as I know of at least one fjr owner who sold his fjr and kept his V-Strom cause its his favorite bike. Interestingly, I recently rode an SV-650 for the first time a few weeks ago. I was looking for a 2nd bike and went to check out a 2002 that was for sale locally. I hated it! Only spend a few miles on it in a residential neighborhood, but I just did not like it. There's another bike that gets rave reviews. I must be a victim of big bike syndrome. Really bummed me out as I had decided that the SV-650 was going to be the next bike to grace my garage. Now I don't know what to get. Greg [/QUOTE]
