2008 WeeStrom, absolutely YES. Great bike, always puts a smile on, however my 2002 DRZ400s no I would not buy it again. Only one reason, the gearbox is too tighly spaced. So not a low enough first gear, and not a high enough 5th gear, and no 6th gear. If they fixed that, then I would buy it again.

Interesting replies. Funny that I had just started thinking that maybe I was dismissing the Super Tenere too quickly in my search for a new bike, and so many replies to this thread are from S10 guys who love their bikes. I'm goin to have to look at it again.
The only bikes I wouldn't buy again are the Kawi KZ440 I rode in high school and the '04 Harley Softail I traded away a few years ago. The Harley just had terrible suspension. I would love to have my '05 Triumph Thruxton back. |

2011 Versys and yes I would buy it again for my normal use it is pretty much spot on.
Of course now I'm looking for a nice little 250 dual sport to expand my riding areas and skills without breaking my wallet |

Honda XL125V Varadero withou a doubt, but with a KLE500 if i were not restricted to max 35kW i would have to think twice before buying it again. Dont get me wrong, its a great bike, but just not my dream bike :)

Another S10, yep, without hesitation.
After Wee Strom (good but not quite), GSA (neat but not cheap), XRL (If you can have only one, this ain't it) and a host of others, I finally found the one for me.

2007 Suzuki V Strom 650, great, cruising bike. A lot of fun. I would def buy again, looking to add Street Triple though. Everyone really raves about this bike and a lot of my riding is local South Florida...might be worth a look.

Jeesh, lots of repetition going on around here... Another S10 here, and another absolutely yes! Every ride I push it harder, and every ride I come back more impressed.
The other one: WR250R: I never knew you could have this much fun on 2 wheels, resounding yes! |
