Hello from a newbie.
« on: March 26, 2018, 19:15:15 »
Hello everyone. Just joined the forum and need advice straight away.
I currently own a Honda CB500X and am looking to upgrade and really like the look of the V-Strom.
Can get an excellent affordable deal on a new 650 and also an excellent deal on a new 1000 but it's just out of my reach financially at the minute.
My question is should I wait a few months to get the 1000 or go with the 650 ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Tom and  :welcome:

Ask your question in the General Forum, you will get more answers.

The correct answer is buy the 650, but they will tell you that over there .....

 :welcome: . The 650 is a great engine.
Old enough to know better, but still too young to care...
