You followed me, so now we're both lost
I am new to motorcycles, but not to offroading. I currently have a Montero, but it isn't the best on gas or for transporting just me. I started looking at adventure bikes because I like the idea of traveling to the mountains for a day or two and being able to explore an interesting dirt path that I may come across.
After looking at some KTM's, I decided against it. They are extremely capable, but command a high price for it. Also I am new to riding bikes, so a learning bike would be great. I like the Vstrom models for the price and there are 2 nearby for sale. One is cheaper with 34,000 miles and completely stock. The other has dual sport tires, crash bars, and a skid plate. With only 11,000 miles the second one is nicer, but more expensive. I am trying to get an idea on what I should look for to compare these 2 more.
Would it be better to buy cheaper and put the accessories on, or just get the equipped bike with lower miles?

Any other thoughts are appreciated.
