For me, I am getting one... The changes are not ground breaking by any long shot... But I really like the new look and subtle refinements... If I hadn't sold my '09 Wee, I would have waited a year or so before getting the new version... Since I am Wee-less :mrgreen:... I am getting the 2012 when it comes out... there abouts, anyway. That means the Versys will have to go...Tough decision, I am just thinking of maybe just getting a White 2011. What do you think the real advantages of a 2012 would be?
I am sticking with my 2006 V-Strom for now, but if my bike was struck by lightening I personally would hold on to the insurance check and wait for the 2012 model rather than buy the 2011 White. (ABS is a given since it is what I want for my next bike but not an issue for 2011 v. 2012)Tough decision, I am just thinking of maybe just getting a White 2011. What do you think the real advantages of a 2012 would be?
Think this through.I would like to know about the new bikes electrical system. Will Wee have more juice available to run goodies. Thus far I have not seen anything on the specs with this information.
Geez K1W1, give the poor guy a break... new info comes out pretty much every on the new Wee... Maybe someone has the scoop... At any rate he is asking a question that most of us here want to know the answer to as well....Think this through.
You are asking totally stupid questions from this audience. Not one single person on this board has any more information about the new bike than you have. How is anybody here supposed to be able to answer such detailed questions?
Very well said. I have noticed this as well and have had other members PM me about topics they felt uncomfortable to post. Do as your parents taught, keep it to yourself unless you have something nice to say.K1W1,
Let me first say 'thank you' for helping maintain this site and doing all the behind-the-scene janitorial duties associated with it's upkeep. I enjoy coming to this website and it has proved very valuable to me, and others I'm sure.
However, an evil type of cloud has come over it of late. A mean spirited and intolerable type of attitude is starting to become the norm around here it seems.
It's not enough to flame out "did-you-use-the-search-tool"... Now we're flat out saying "you-are-asking-stupid-questions". Please don't take my comments negative, I really do enjoy the site and all the chatter. But dang, there has been a good bit of crudeness going around lately.
We come to this site with a common shared interest... the Suzuki V-Strom. Lets play nice. Pretend if you have too. :thumbup:
I opened the question as "I would like to know" not does anyone know. This is a General discussion board not Jeopardy. Chill Out TigerThink this through.

+1 on this. I have a new Wee owner asking me if I would ask a question due to his getting he ass kicked the last time he did ask a question. I asked a question for him about a stock shock. I could not answer due to me never owning one. So yes some members are terrorizing other members.Very well said.

Now back to the question. From the pictures I've seen my guess would be that most items that bolt to the frame should work but anything above it (seat, windscreen, etc) probably won't.
