Well they do not have a test drive unit for the V-Strom 650. They had two built but dry, an ABS and a non-ABS. I am thinking about ABS but I would first like to know how it performs in dirt. Sometimes you want to break traction in the dirt
I am decided on the V-Strom 650. It was run against 4 other bikes out in Europe and beat out Ducati AND BMW to earn the Alpsmaster label. I think I will stick with the stock Trailwings until they go slick and than get me some Tourances Maybe.
In solid hard off roading you might have some trouble with the little V but it sure as hell can blow anything else off the road.
No other adventure 650/ except the new BMW 650/800 whatever those crazy germans are thinking/ can even keep up with it on light/medium off road or street.
mmmmm....

i want to be able to speed past big trucks. Better to slice through that crap
