My brother has been in L.A. for nine years and hasn't had a bike since he moved west. He's spotted this Wee on CL out there.
I've already shared my thoughts with him but want the opinion of the brain trust that is NESR. What do you all think? High points? Weak spots? Tell me your thoughts, good and bad.
Here's the link and the text from the ad:

"2009 vstrom for sale. Selling because I currently have 2 of the same bike. I have had many vstroms, 650 and 1000s. I prefer the 650 with abs for la personally over the 1000 and over the KLR 650.
Here’s the details,
-ABS is able to be turned off for dirt/gravel riding
-tires are in good condition. I generally only use Michelin Road Pilot 4s. Which is what this bike has. If you are not familiar you can google, but basically they have a harder rubber in the center tire for longer use. I generally get about 13-14k out of the back and 20k + out of the front. These have about 4-5k on them. Should be good for at least a couple years.
-raised handlebars
-throttle lock
-cig lighter power outlet
- Garmin gps with holder
- lowered foot pegs
- wide off road foot pegs, great for standing and grip. About the size of a deck of cards
- madstad windscreen bracket, easily adjustable up and down without tools
- taller windshield/ windscreen
- back bracket for top case / top box. Top case not included
- 2 aluminum panniers, very easy to put on and take off. They do lock and I do have the key
- 1 gal water, 1gal gas extra side tanks via rotopax.com. (I can knock $100 off if you don’t want these but they are nice on long trips)
- 5.5 gal tank. 48-50mpg solo. About 45mpg 2 up w gear
- 2 keys
- new battery
- brand new clutch install
- reusable oil filter, never have to buy an oil filter again!
I also have some extras: belly pan, hand guards, and extra mirrors if you want them.
Cash only. Call text or email anytime. Test rides w cash and mc license.
Clean title"
Thanks in advance,
