Hi All

  As the engine in the V Strom has been tried and very well tested for years now I was wondering who on this group has the most mileage on their V Strom.

Not me but trying.  Bought three weeks ago - six years old with just under 7,500 miles on the clock.  I've added a further thousand plus already.

Mine is low mileage compared to some, just on 40,000.
There's one on e bay with 72,000, and they are asking £2500. It would seem the price of the first Wee's has gone up some of late, perhaps its due to summer aproaching.

EnduroAlex has something approaching 80,000 (can't remeber whether it is miles or km)

I think 'coach' is well over 100k on his DL1000

Juvecu probably had one of the highest on here.

I sold my K7 Wee with 77,000 miles on it. The second owner passed 113,000 miles last year and I haven't become a recent update. A Canadian Wee I know of has 156,000 miles on it. A somewhat famous K3 Vee in the USA is approaching 400,000 miles.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s
