Song Cho posted a comment on the F650 vs the V-Strom. Any thoughts?

Don’t know why more people aren’t comparing the BMW F 650 GS with the VStrom seeing that they cost about the same. Thinking bout getting the GS but everyone is talking bout the V-Strom which makes me curious. Is the GS overrated?

Oops! I suppose this will start a whole nother frenzy of KLR vs VStrom vs GS comparisons, but hey, I know we just can’t help ourselves . . . this is a hot topic, so bring it on!

dont know where your writin from but in Australia a new BMW650gs is much more expensive than a Suzuki 650 Vstrom….
Wish they where the same price here…Id go the BM if that was the case….

Really wanted the GS (thumper fan) but BMW wouldn’t budge a nickle on their price. Ended up with a new DL1000 for less.
