Default New V-Strom prices and colours... would you?

If only I had a spare 10 grand lying about, I'd have this in a flash!
What does everyone else think??

Looks like a bird waiting for you to laugh at the joke it just cracked...

If it's anything like the old model it'll be a solid good value "soft-road" tourer though...

snap! If it was released earlier this year I'd have gone for it. Looks to be a great bike. May even have to book a test ride next year on one!!

Looks the dogs, and at that price its gota be a hit. But there's bound to be a drawback somewhere so think i'll reserve my judgement and wait for reports when it's been around a month or two.

The V-storms have always been advertised as an all rounder rather than an offroader

Yes, yes I would.

As long as someone else was paying.

I quite like the look. When I was deciding on the new bike, I had a look at the new vstrom 650 and was quite impressed with that. Didn't work so well for Mrs Clunk as pillion, but the thou looks pretty awesome.

Not sure if i'd part with 10 grand (plus extras) for one. As someone said that is no longer solid all rounder price, but getting into full adventure bike territory.
