That's the 1000. Big -V or Wee-Strom, you can't go wrong.   All the adventure bike you'll ever need.  Here's my Wee below:

Look at the 2011 Suzuki Bandit. It's now a ST at a few grand less than our beloved Connies. I guess it's actually Suzuki's FIRST ST bike, now that I think about it. I'm positive someone will correct me if I'm wrong.  ;D

While they're at it, perhaps Suzuki could graft a shaft drive on a faired SV650?

Well....I need to amend this, because my man card feels a liitle wilted in my wallet here...I took a good look at my riding last week, doing the round-trip every day to work, in the heat...the highest the tach registered was 8.5K, and my shift points are between 4k and 5k...so when I say I don't get past 6K much I guess I do mean 6th....typically I will stay with the fastest "safe" traffic, which usually runs between 75 and 80 mph, so I'm under 6K on the tach....
