Heated grips, hard bags, tallershield, centerstand,and top box: YES! At least that is what the lit. I have says. They tell me that it will not be available until March and who knows about the add-ons.

You can take your busa to Deadhorse, Ak. if you like but I will take my V-Strom thank you.

Re: BTW...

I am not here to bash anything or any one. Some bikes go fast and some bikes go anywhere.

The Strom has a 19" front wheel in the lit I have.

My dealer has a copy sent to him by Suzuki. He gave me a copy when I ordered my V-Strom.

I have been riding Hondas sence 1963 and did all I could to get them to bring the Varadero in to the USA but now it is too late! I will be going to Deadhorse on my V-Strom instead.

Re: The V-Strom ISN

You are right starving but if you want to do 10,000 mi. in twentyeight days you need a little more bike if only for comfort.

Unlike BMW the Strom can have the same size bags on both sides and who knows how big they will be.

Re: V-Strom in America

Vinnie, your dealer should have the specs. If you go to Daytona ask them when the options will be available. The bike is suppose to be available in March.

Re: Busa bashers??? Loosers!!!!

I am not saying anything bad about the Busa. Have you ever spent thirty days living on and with your bike? If you want to go to places like Yelloknife, Northwest territories, Inuvik, or Prudhoe Bay, Alaska that is what you will have to do, and you will get a chance to learn to ride on something other than a nice smooth road. The busa is a nice bike but it is not what I would want to take on the trips that I have in mind. I think I will take the V-Strom.
