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!

Will, I love the theam with the shark mouth, almost like an old P 40 War hawk.

That's what I was after... :icon_cool:

I also had this old Bell helmet. It completed the look:

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. :shhh:

The site is having issues with direct uploads.
Most people are using the "Photobucket Work Around" until the web masters get this sorted.
Apologize for the inconvenience.

Cheer,
