    FINALLY. It only took 6 months, but I knew eventually I would see a V-Strom that was a better deal than my DL650...

    I just didn't think it would be a 1000.

    That is a hell of a good deal. I'll have to assume it has 80k+ on it or something. :evil

    Good point. I just jumped to conclusions because I've seen so many cheap, older non-FI DL1ks. I guess $2500 for a 2007 is definitely 'too good to be true.'

    Most likely a scam, at least that was my first impression when I saw it the other day. It is in the correct price range. There are lots of items in the 2,500-3,500$ range that are to good to be true, from the the 2001 loaded siverado truck, 2009 Polaris 4 wheeler, even a 2002 super chromed out "custom" Harley, that when more info is requested, it turns out that you have to pay before you can inspect the vehicle in person. Scammers make me :puke1

    The missing fairing bits are not going to be cheap, and I've never seen a black one, so I imagine finding a used fairing on eBay is going to be impossible.

    Really great bikes though; far more practical than an XT225, which is a pretty great bike to begin with...

    I saw it in a parking lot downtown a coupla weeks ago. It looks very fine. The ad isnt doing it justice without some good pics.

    :thumb Looks like the first bike I "got" for TG, a Yamaha QT50, it was all I could afford at the time (free) :D

    I remember the first time we went trail riding with it, the fenders got so plugged up with mud, I just ended up taking them off so she could keep going :lol3
