If I do this right, more than one choice may be made but I see no way to allow those owning more than one bike in one category to account for more than one.

What V-Strom(s) do you have?

It's easy to tell some people have more than one as the total of percentages right now is 115%.
Only one V-Strom. 2007 650 No ABS
Givi crash bars
SS brake lines
Givi E41 side bags
Admore lighting kit for E41
Oxford heated grips
PR3 tires

Before this gets out of hand, please just take the poll above. There is no need to post the info. This is not a discussion forum.
PS, '09 DL650 with the works. First bike in 31 years and I've already put 20,000 kilometres on it. Happy as a clam . . .
I have it separated by changes in the charging system. I'm hoping to get a better idea of the count of the bikes by electrical output as well as model.
I am rather surprised by the proportion on 2012+. Must indicate brisk and accelerating sales for Suzuki.
Probably reflects that newer owners are more likely to enthusiastically search for information and spread their excitement; whereas older more "seasoned" owners are likely to have heard everything and said every thigh and as a result participate less.

Already voted, but I feel I must post. It's a sickness.
My first Vee was a 2007 in blue. Corbin seat, Suzi luggage, Givi engine guards, AMS bash plate, Happy Trail highway pegs.

I loved that machine, clutch basket chudder and all. But our relationship ended badly.

Then came the '04 in silver.

She redeemed me from the ashes. I farkled her up in similar fashion, except she had the stock seat and Kappa luggage. She served me well through long distances and rough terrain, but my eye wandered.
Now I'm two-timing.

The younger gal will surely win out. The only question is whether I have enough time and energy for them both, or if I need to find a new suitor for the old grey lady.
Escape the cage!

Love this Wee
2009 Wee.
10th bike in 45 years, including dirt, cruisers, touring and Can Am. First ever V-Strom, and may well be the best all-around I've ever owned. Looks like a keeper. :yesnod:

I think this poll needs to be done yearly to reflect people that changed from old to newer models.
Members who have changed bikes are a small percentage of the ownership. Getting decent feedback takes years. There are thousands of members here and less than 700 in the poll at this point.
Bought 2 - 2009 DL650's in 2012. Strictly for pleasure cruising. We live in Central Oregon, amazing roads & scenery & the VStrom is PERFECT for our terrain! Spent 3 weeks on them, down the coast of California & back up through the Sierra's. My husband bought a 2012 DL1000 last year, he spends more time in California for work and wanted the extra power. He made the mistake of leaving it home with me and now we have two 650's for sale. I just got my 2012 DL1000 last Saturday. We found it on Craigslist in Eureka, CA. Over 300 miles from home. I met my husband there, he had a truck and trailer from working down south. I ended up riding it all the way home. I LOVE VStroms!!!
So, that's 2 - 2009 650's
AND 2-2012 1000's
and yes, we love to chat, didn't see the directions, woops!
