I picked up a 2007 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 yesterday, as my "runaround" bike. will use it for trip to work etc and save the F6B for longer trips. Also i'm sick of idiots touching or trying to sit on the B at work. this wont stand out as much hopefully.

V-Stroms are good rides. Wish I could see the pics. Not coming thru on my computer. I picked up a 2016 Yamaha FZ-07 last Tuesday. Lots of fun. Now, have 3 bikes in the shed. Need a bigger shed!
Yep!
I had a Weestrom several years ago. Here's a pic of it. Miss that bike sometimes:

...been everywhere, seen everything, done almost everything.

Ditto. I traded mine and my Valkyrie for the "B". Sometimes I wish I would have just kept the Wee and sold the Valk.
To the OP, you may find yourself riding that V-Strom more than you are planning. With a couple of minor comfort upgrades I made mine what I called "coast to coast comfortable". Never rode it that far but it did make several trips from North East Indiana to West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Northern Michigan. Now after saying all that, I might go shopping today to see if I can find another one.
