Sadly it is time to sell my beloved Suzuki DL-650 V-Strom / Wee-Strom. My girlfriend and I are moving into our truck camper in March to travel the country (long story) and I've finally come to terms that the bike needs to go so that I can purchase something smaller that will fit on our truck hitch mount. We aren't towing anything, so that's out of the question. Basically the new bike needs to be ~200lbs or so. If you have a Honda Grom or Honda Trail CT 90 / 110, or Suzuki DRZ 400. I'd be open to a partial trade for any of those as that's what I'm looking at purchasing. Maybe other similar small bikes or smaller Dual-sports (XT250, WR250, etc)
I currently have almost 34K on the bike. No dents or scratches. This ol' gal has been taken care of. She got me across the country flawlessly and has taken me on many adventures and created countless memories. It breaks my heart to sell her but I know it's what I need to do at the moment.

probably more that I'm not remembering...
Anything with an *asterisk* I have listed for sale separately as well, so chances are they may disappear over time.
I'm not particularly happy about selling this bike, be easy with me when haggling. I'm losing a huge chunk of money either way you slice it (of course everyone here knows that sad ol' sob story - we never get the money back out of a bike that we build up if we sell it) I'm open to wiggling on price with members here rather than some bozo on Craigslist.
If you want to pay considerably less than what I'm asking, then I'll happily remove some of the farkles to make it match your price and sell them separately.
PM me here if you're interested.
Location - Asheville NC
Price - asking and begging for $5500 OBO with ALL the farkles and a ton of extra parts and pieces
Talk to me, haggle with me, make sense of this all and offer me something so that I don't feel like I'm losing a friend and a huge chunk of change. I'm open to just about any offers and trades. This money will go to pay off some student loans and credit debt, as well as fund a smaller bike for our truck/camper combo.
Please help me, getting rid of her breaks my heart but there is simply no way around it. :cry
