Title: Potential vstrom 650 owner
Post by: Bikermike59 on August 16, 2019, 08:19:49
Hello everyone,
Thank you for letting me join your forum 😀
I'm interested in buying a used vstrom 650 but I'm unsure what's a good price for one. I have been looking at the 2012 to 2016 version and the prices seem to vary considerably.
I have seen one recently which is a 2015 with luggage 8500 miles for £3950 is that a good price?
Also how do they perform 2 up carrying luggage? As I'm a bit concerned that it won't be powerful enough only being a 650
Cheers 😊

They perform fine two up. I have ridden around the world from May 18 to July 19 and had no mechanical faults or even punctures!

Bought a 2012 model, immaculate, no luggage, 10,000 miles in Aug 2017 for £4000 - probably should have been £3500 privately. Sold it last Friday back to same dealer after having put on 31,000 miles trouble free miles, for £2500. Swapped for 2017 model with luggage, less than 5000 miles and up for £6500 - again top price but local, good service and a lovely selection of immaculate bikes to choose from. Two up they are great, good seat and big grab rails.

Is the 2017 model much better than the earlier versions?
