Trouble is that puts the vstrom at a similar price level to a Versys 1000 or a Tracer 9gt. I would prefer either of those two till the vstrom but that's maybe because I've been on my strom from 2015.
In 2014 the rrp of my bike was 10k so that's a 3k rise in 9 years, not too bad I guess really with how things are. I would wait a year and no doubt where will be discounts, on the cast wheel model anyway.
