Congrats on the new bike! I've had 3 Vstroms! an 05, 2012 and 2014 (1000).
I really liked the 650's, the 1000 was just OK. It was a lot more expensive to maintain, took premium gas, insurance was more, etc The extra power was nice but it really wasn't very fast for a 1000.
I still miss the 650's, I'll have a 4th one someday! Right now though my wife loves to ride and the Vstrom 650 just didn't cut it! We bought an XT250 for her this year to learn how to ride on and if she gets the hang of it, and starts riding her own bike i'll be trading my ST1300 for a 650 Vstrom
