Definitely looking for a Versys now. I watched all summer, found nothing close, so ended up buying back a 1250 Bandit that I had sold 10 years ago! (he only put 1500 miles on it in 10 yrs....I couldn't resist!!) So, having a 2 bike limit (for space) I put the Versys on the back burner until I could sell the VStrom. Altho' I will probably wait until spring, (winter sucks, I hate the cold) I "can" buy a '15 or newer 650 at any time.
Already have my eye on one a couple hours from me. He's down to 4500. It's a great deal, but not really in the mood to mess with it right now. (my Mom was buried last w/e, so kinda' in a funk right now)
Thanks for the condolences, it has been a very rough week. Those who are lucky enough to still have their Mom, make sure you express your love while you can. :crying:
Thanks, 9k miles. Not a lot of add-ons. Phone holder,bar risers,power plug, BIG GIVI blade trunk, kickstand "foot". I don't plan on adding much of anything. Experience has taught me that farkling is a losing proposition! lol
Edit: Just read your story on the deer strike. Wow, very sorry!! I've managed to avoid many of them over the years, altho' I did kill one with a Ford! Dang things are suicidal!!
You don't really need one IMHO. Get a "pit-stand" for the rear to use at home during chain-lubing, etc. For trips you can make a stand from an old aluminum crutch, as long as you have already installed "spools" for the pit-stand.
Cut the crutch down (as per pic below), and use either a piece of two-sided Velcro or a riding-glove to hold the front brakes ON so the bike doesn't roll as you lift it.
Thanks Eddie, that's pretty much what I had decided after an afternoon of research, paddock stand for home, and the prop rod for carrying onboard. I appreciate the pics. If all else fails, I have a ceiling mounted winch in my garage. lol
i'm in NE ohio and hoping for the same. i never pack the bike away for the winter. there's always a day or 2 or 3 (or more....) each month i can ride....
I luckily missed last years record breaking cold temps cuz' we were in Cancun. But the day we came home, it was in the 50's!! lol Ya' just never know!! :grin2:
Just checked the website and there’s a USA shipping option. Did you select the US “icon” in the top right corner under site map?
Selling for €134.99 plus shipping.
