Depends on what you are after low mileage or kit on the bike and mid mileage or are you not bothered about the mileage and want a good reliable bike. Put a link on here and let's have a look ????

Is it this one ?.....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-Vstrom-DL-650-/192087130875?hash=item2cb94902fb:g:gT0AAOSwNnRYiHGe

Unusual bike, being wrapped like that. Low miles for year, lots of extras. The number plate is clear to see, so a DVLA check is advised, for a start.

If the wrapping isn't just about perfect it could look crap, mind!

That looks a good 'bike.

A very good well written informative advert with decent pictures. The wrap is a bit marmite. It wouldn't stop  me buying it. 
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

I remember reading the thread about this when it was wrapped. Wonder why it wasn't advertised on here  :shrug:

K60 tyres, sumpguard & aftermarket pegs all nod towards being offroaded. I'd want to know what's under that wrap.

Yes asked him about that said no, don't know about first owner, does seem a bit odd having a newish bike wrapped and off road tyres

don't know owt about that bike, but the colour really suits the bike, Suzuki should offer it. Looks pretty macho too with those pukka tyres.
I like it.  :thumb:

The OCD in me says he should have applied the Suzuki sticker the other way on the left fork leg, and what does ABR on the screen stand for.?  :icon_exclaim:

I like the colour too, hate the beak though, looks like an army bike or something,must have been a lot of work wrapping it, I'd say it's worth a look, nice little cross bridge or whatever you call it on the handlebars,
is there a panel you can buy to fill the gap if you remove the beak?

Great news for beak owners! Pretty sure the standard glee mini-grille screws/push rivets straight in when you de-beak.
