"The 2008 v-strom comes standard with ABS..."

...Damn Canadians! They get them with ABS standard!

The 427lb dry weight figure given is for the non ABS model though. ABS adds 7lbs.

Motorcycle Mojo guys don't count so good with their shoes on - not usually past seven.

You know what most reviewers forget? the lights.... I would rather ride the Wee at night than my 03 Dodge Ram 2500, these lights rock on the Strom.

Especially after putting some after market bulbs in.

A truly glowing review. praising the good brakes? Ahem... Otherwise spot on.

Motorcycle Mojo is a chopper/cruiser magazine. That they reviewed a bike without feet-forward controls is a surprise. Modern brakes would be a surprise to them, as would using that lever on the right handlebar as opposed to that Chevy brake pedal on the floorboard.
