Hi from mid Wales
« on: February 09, 2025, 21:39:52 »
Hi all ,
Returning to bikes after a few years.
 No bike yet but I'm going to look at a vstom in the next couple of days, a 2016 with just under 20k miles.

Do you have a specific engine capacity in mind or are you looking at all of the V-Strom engine sizes?
Have a look on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-Strom for info of the different engine sizes.
To read more details / specifications wrt the various year models, my advice is to do a search on https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/bikes/suzuki3.html

Thanks for the info. No particular engine size. The bike I'm going to see is very local and I know the owner. I've seen the bike but not close up so fingers crossed it will be a good one.
