Friday Forum Foraging: 2009 V-Strom 650A For Just $2500

By the time you read this, this ultra-clean 2009 Suzuki V-Strom 650 could very well be sold. If it's not, and you're looking for one, this looks to be a great buy. This example comes to us from our sister site stromtrooper.com. The V-Strom 650 needs no introduction, as it's one of the most versatile street bikes ever made. Power comes from Suzuki's workhorse – the 645cc V-Twin first seen in the SV650, with iterations of the same basic engine still in production today, 20-something years later.

Treated properly, the 650 engine will return the love, as seen in this example. With over 60,000 miles on the odometer, the owner (who also happens to be the first and only person to have ever owned this 'Strom) says the bike has seen some miles, but has also been well-maintained and should be ready to face another 60,000 miles without a hiccup.

To sweeten the pot, this 'Strom comes with a laundry list of aftermarket accessories, itself worth the $2500 asking price alone. We're talking Jesse Odyssey side cases, Givi top case, Garmin GPS, heated grips, Barkbusters, new chain and sprockets, new radiator, fresh tires, and SW Motech crash bars – just to name a few.

We've copied the original listing below, but be sure to visit the original listing at stromtrooper.com to get all the information and to contact the seller.

I figure I'd post this here first in the friendly confines of Stromtrooper before I brave the raw primal savagery of Cycle Trader, FB Marketplace, Craigslist, et al...

They call it “The Swiss Army Knife of Motorcycles.”

Well-adventured but well-maintained, runs great.

I’m the original and sole owner, and I’ve ridden this bike all over NE USA & Canada.

It can be yours for a mere $2,500.

Perfect first or second bike for a new rider. Great commuter bike.

Or load up the cases and ride around the world.

The only reason I’m selling is I have my eye on another bike and can’t keep two.
