Anyone interested in a (my) 2005 V-Strom? (FS)

Looking to sell for cash - no swaps or other ingenious ideas... selling
as I need the cash for something else (and no it's not one of those
operations).

Black 2005 (05) Suzuki DL1000 K5 V-Strom
4200 miles (last service at 2900 - next due in March '07/6400 miles)
Remaining Suzuki warranty until March 2007
Taxed until March 2007
Meta 357TV2 alarm
Alphadot
New tyres (Azaro ST) fitted 1000 miles ago

Extras:
Heated grips
Givi engine crash bars
MRA vario screen (miles better than the original)
Scottoiler
Vision Plus headlight bulbs

Bike has never been dropped and is in perfect condition.

Located in Didcot, Oxfordshire.

Looking for £4250 - I believe that's a good price for the age and
specs of the bike but I'm sure someone will disagree.

If you're interested, email me at

 

I don't need another, so no.

 

Didcot, must be nicked innit......

 

Of course, and so professionally that even the V5 looks correct.

No thanks.

Does it actually do anything very well ?

P.

 

August actually.

 

I'm moving and need the cash.

No bike for the short term, but hopefully in a couple of months will be
something new and shiny, not sure what exactly, but a ZZR1400, GSX-R750
or Sprint ST are likely to be near the top

I do know it will not be a V-Strom.

 

It does everything well. I'm selling for the cash, not because I hate
it.

I will admit it wasn't the right bike for me, but that doesn't mean
it's not a competent machine.

 

Moving?

 

I thought a GSX-Rnnn was a no-no because of your back (or some other
part of your anatomy)?

Good sales technique there.

They are - back and knees - however considering I ride my bike very
rarely at the moment (and where I'm going is probably going to be even
less - very short bursts or very long tours!), this means that I can
consider something that I can drool at in the garage and enjoy riding
in short bursts - hence the reappearance of the 750. You will note the
other two bikes are more sport tourers though.

Well yes, but as I've had zero interest I suspect it's not going to
make any difference. As I said to Zymurgy, it's a great bike (honestly)
but just isn't the one for me. For someone maybe a bit older, less
bothered by the looks or with different requirements, it will be great
(Muddy loves his) - it's just not stirred my soul and as has been said
here what is the point of a motorcycle if not to do this?

 

Yup.

 

New woman?

 

Far?

No actually - the old one strangely enough. Long story but that
resolved itself.

Moving to Guernsey - so I get to put a nifty four digit black number
plate on the next bike.

And pay less tax.

 

Better the devil you know eh?

Isn't it 30mph speed limited over the entire island?

 

35 actually, with 25 in many parts - and for good reason in most cases!

However there are opportunities... hence why my choice of bikes is
either a banzai nutter I can ride for 30 minutes, or a sports tourer
-France and UK are options for longer rides.

 

It's really a lovely island but a place I couldn't enjoy living day to
day for that very reason.

With the blanket 35mph limit, you'll be fine.
