Hi All,
My search continues to buy my first V-Strom. After a couple moves towards 2011 bikes and a 2012 which were sold before I could pull the trigger, I've decided that I'd really like focus on a 2012+ model. I've found one that looks like a decent deal to me and has all the farkles already in place. Please let me know what you think of the asking price and what a fair offer would be.
2012 V-Strom, just under 5K miles @ $7400
Nothing wrong mechanically or cosmetically
Never dropped or ridden off road.
All scheduled maintenance done w/records
Farkles that I can see: crash bars, tool tube, 12v outlet, handlebar risers, hand guards, suzuki top and side cases w/liners, skid plate, adjustable windscreen extension thingy on the primary windscreen, and maybe a couple more that I just don't know what they're called.
What do you guys think of the asking price? Good price? Too high? It's over my budget and I'd have to travel to pick it up, so I'd really like to stay under $7000 if I could and was thinking of throwing out $6700-6800 as an offer since it'll cost me another few hundred in travel expenses.
Thoughts?
