What coast are you near? I've got a 2007 V with only 11,000 miles
for $6,500 US. I already did all of the shit you will have to do to
a new one, including the seat, power relay, windshield adjusting
brackets, GPS mount, Givi Trunk, Givi Bags, fork stabilizer, highway
pegs, throttle lock and Power Commander.
I'm in New Hampshire. I've got an Electra-Glide and a Royal Enfield
you can buy too! (I'm getting a Concours 14).

I've had the 1000 and 650 and prefer the 650 Strom. Better economy means
longer range and it has plenty of power even for 2 up touring. It is also
lighter. The only thing the 1000 had which I prefered was the engine note,
twin exhausts and the chrome ring around the dials.

The Pacific one, and only a few miles from tide water.

That all sounds interesting, especially the fuel computer.

I'll take them all! (I wish) but there's a hassle getting them
into Canada and I'm more allergic to red tape than Don (Calgary).

I forgot. It has a center stand too! You know you can deal with
Canadian customs... Really.
