Just joined these forums so first let me say hello to everybody, I'm really glad to be here! I haven't yet purchased my DL650 just yet, and wanted to get some input before I do.
Basically I found this Craigslist ad: Must Sell! Suzuki V-Strom Motorcycle - $4000 FIRM!, and before you all tell me not to buy anything found on Craigslist this is a reputable seller.
Okay, so this bike has about 15k miles on it, is a 2009 with one owner and he's asking $4k for it. At that price he said he'd be replacing the battery, not because it's bad, but just because it's the original battery. I got him down to $3,800 at which price we agreed that I'd replace the battery.
How long can I expect this bike to run (assuming regular oil changes and a daily city commute) before I have to do any major repairs? Is there anything in particular I should look for when I see the bike in person?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas/advice you care to offer. Can't wait to get into a Wee Strom! :thumbup:
