Looking to get into dual sporting and found a 2008 V Strom 650 with about 50k on the clock...is that a lot for this little bike?
I know a guy with 2 650 V Stroms, both of them have 125,000+ miles on them.
Check for rust indicating it was parked outside, without a cover. Electrical problems will probably be the biggest risk. Then rubber and plastic issues from exposure, altho its not a very old bike. Hydraulics and coolant conditions. That's a fine ride and I see the 1000 is making a comeback for 2012. Cheap to keep bikes.
