Default Another new bike

As many here probably have experienced, one can't have too many bikes. Meet the new machine! 2004 vstrom 650 with 7200 miles! $4400 OTD.

I owned a 2007 Vstrom ABS model (same color). I liked that bike - a good all-around bike you could take on dirt roads, comfortable on road trips etc. and also was pretty quick. My son owned a 2009 Vstrom ABS with all the bells and whistles. Sadly, he couldn't afford to keep it, so he has a 1984 Honda Shadow 1100 (with collector plates, which means the insurance is about 1/10th the cost).

My wife and I somewhat disagree on the 'one can't have too many bikes'. I had 7 bikes at one point, but now down to only 4.

Matt, congrats on the new addition. How much time do you have before kicking one out of the stable?

No kidding haha, I had 5 at one point, got rid of an 86 vulcan 750, then bought the strom haha. One step forward, on step back

No clue, hopefully before the end of summer I'll have one less bike. Plan to use that cash for v-strom farkles!!!
