saltire suzuki (Dundee Terrace) have the v-strom (not the A though). but they have some second hand 650's, you could Adventure-ise one of those. I had a 650 over a weekend, and it was pretty good. 650 will cruise at 80 mph easier than an XT will. for a solo ride better than the 1000 I have now.
I would personally go for an XT though, as I'd give up motorway comfort for some off-road ability. I think the XT would be cheaper to drop as well, if it's your first bike.
Doesn't the 650 v-strom have ABS that can't be switched off?
