wee vs v strom 2up rtw
Hello all,
I know that this has probably been covered before but I couldn't find the link. Please advise. I would like a 2up rtw and have decided to go with the v strom ABS mainly because of the price and write ups. 1) Will a wee strom be comfortable and 2) have enough power for 2up plus gear, me 6'0/190, the wife 5'1/105lbs (don't tell her I posted her weight!) , mostly highway miles Alaska to Patagonia.
I prefer the 650 to the 1000 to even the 1200gsa because of MPG and initial cost. The price really isn't the issue. Currently we drive an 800 triumph which doesn't have 't enough get up an go and I haven't driven a v strom and in my country (Guatemala) they don't have test rides! We are going to pick up a new one in Denver Colorado. I'd rather save our cash for nice hotels and food than an expensive bike. Furthermore, everybody's beemer seems to break down when they pass through here so I'm not convinced to drop 17G on a 35mpg bike. Thanks!
Josh
