Hello all
« on: October 04, 2024, 16:08:50 »
Hello from the north east.
I decided I want to do a big trip before I'm too old. After extensive research I came to the conclusion that an abs 650 v strom Is what I need. I figure this has Got to be the best place to look. So is anybody selling or know of a well kept bike for sale? I've had bikes forever and do my own fettling. Not bothered about bikes age but its Got to be in good condition. I'm looking about 20 thou miles as a top limit. As I've told my wife many times this is going to be my last bike so please feel free to contact me so I can start this adventure !

Welcome Lester P,
You lucked out , a few weeks earlier and graingerblazes 650 ( seen in the header above ) was up for sale , one of the best around.
I wouldn't worry about mileage on the 650 so much *, condition and history are more important , they run forever if owned by a careful owner.
Good luck with the hunt   :thumb:

And the other stroms ..he hastily adds  :whistle:
