Hi all - I stumbled upon this site searching for more information on the Versys. I am not new to motorcycles by any means and have owned and ridden many. My last motorcycle was a 2010 Triumph Thruxton.
From my research, I am going to get a 2010 or newer Versys. I looked at the vstrom and honda and both seem really porky. The Verys seems the sleekest of the bikes, so as far as looks go, I am set on the Versys.
I still need to ride one and I seem to keep reading about excessive vibration. The 2010 or newer was my choice due to the rubber mounted mounts or whatever as I am hoping that will reduce the vibrations.
Now, I have owned 2 buells, 2 suzuki sv1000's, 2 SV650's and the superhawk - yeah, all v-twin sportbikes is the theme. I am used to a level of vibration and wonder if the vibration is that big of a deal...
My buddy had a z1000 and wow, that thing had some vibration in hands and feet that was excessive and tingly and I am hoping its not the same.
I found an all black 2010 with 740 miles and asking price is 7K, is that fair? It is almost 4 years old and even with the low miles, I feel its overpriced. Any thoughts???
I also like the 2013 pearl whites, so I am almost wanting to spring for a new one.
Anyways, if you have any suggestions for me as I go shopping, that would be great.
Thanks for having me here and safe riding everyone!
