Buell vs Versys

dReWpY · 10-03-2010, 01:28 PM

What is your guys take on this idea:

trading my 2008 1125R w/ 3k miles for a new 2009 Kawi Versys?

it would more then likely be a straight trade, i would want them to throw some farkles on the versys, min. crash cage and panners

Versys ftw, then we can add some dirt to the trip

dont know whats the kbb value of each, what are buells going for?

dReWpY · 10-03-2010, 01:57 PM

they are seemingly going for $5,500

from what I hear... the Versys is a phenomenal bike. other than the looks I haven't heard a bad word about them.

are you sure you're ready to say goodbye to the sport bike? that's the biggest question.

as far as the deal... if the above answer is yes... then as long as you're comfortable and happy with it... then sounds like a good deal to me

I'd hate for you to buy the bike and hate it because you miss the performance... ya know?

dReWpY · 10-03-2010, 02:05 PM
