Bought an 05 Strom 650 nearly 3 mounths ago and I couldn´t be happier. Got nearly 3000 miles on it so far use it mostly for commuting (70 miles round trip 2-3 times a week). I bought the optional heated hand-grips(yup,I ride through the winter, weather permiting)hand-guards, and Suziki´s topcase. I´m considering a GPS and maybe XM radio for touring. I can´t think of anything I´d do different. This bike has really been THAT good.
