Adding some FARKLES... I ordered all of the Givi stuff direct from Motorstorm in Italy and paid about 60% after shipping from the US prices. Givi skid, crash bars, V47 mount, and Airflow windshield. http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc430/tbln930/BRANT-PC/Pictures/20161031_124416_zps55uayqqu.jpg h...

Group hysteria? Lemmings theory?

Oh - the V-Strom 650 needs a fork brace IMO and especially if you ever go above about 80 mph. The 1000 has stronger inverted forks and does not. THe 1000 also has electronic traction control.

Both V-Stroms are very good but the 1000 is better. The brakes, suspension, seat, engine breaking, and power of course are superior on the 1000. It is extremely noticeable even on the test rides I took. When my wife rides here in the Ozarks a 1000 is necessary imo. I am transferring all FARKLE's exc...

Yes - here too for 2017. I got this new but leftover previous model 2nd gen 1000 for $7450 usd. They list at $13,000 usd. I picked my 650 up the same way at huge bargain. The 2017s are not yet available here and they will be high priced. I test rode nine different bikes when i picked the 1000. Defin...

Here was my 650 loaded up. I had about 12,000 wonderful miles on it. FARKLEing is half of the fun.

Long time - no post. I just upgraded my V-Strom 650 to a V-Strom 1000. Since I have been riding it I have been surprised how different it is from the 650. Improvements across the board besides a 45% increase in HP. It really feels like a different bike completely. Light and nimble but quick. I am ju...

Congratulations! Still one of the best bikes on the planet. I put 10k miles on mine last year. Please post pictures.

Some farkles are essential. Are you on Stromtrooper.com?

I have the same one.

Yep - that is the one. The rear trunk base. Recall 16E-023. I didn't buy it. Whew.

I have not had e not had a chance to read it. What's up? I don't see a thread yet.

Amazingly, I have owned 13 different bikes since college with well over 100k bike miles and have never been stopped by the LE. I see our county sheriffs regularly and they sometimes wave. I figure they all know who I am by now.

I have had a few speeding tickets in the cars.

Hehe. That's great...

They let him go. lol I will bet anyone he does it again.

I read he had the plate bent up under the fender and they couldn't see it on one story.

I was not that dumb when I was 20.

Collinsville, IL? Chewing on some horseradish I presume?

I'm across the river and south in the hills.

New Jersey it said. One crazy dude.

I tried a buddies Ninja 1000 maybe five years ago and it was so fast I added a new definition to insanity in Webster's. :-)

I would kill myself shortly on one of those. It weighs the same as my V-Strom 650 but it is literally a rocket ship. The CBR1000 is even lighter.

The Zumo 665 works great and I also picked up a Cobra stealth radar detector.

This nut easily got away from the police at speeds up to 160 mph but they caught up with him 4 months later because he posted the video online. LOL
