I'm calling on a Nissan Patrol in one of those ads in the am. Hopefully it's a rare 3 door model
If I can find one of these too I'll be golden for awhile;

Those tires are mods, semi-knobbies, a 50/50 tire. That pic has several non-stock farkles.
The V-Strom comes with Trailwings stock, a 70/30 tire. We just got back from tour, and rode from Samana to Jarabacoa in the rain. Excellent tires for the roads here.
You can pick up a new V-Strom from Bonamza for around US$11,000 out the door. Remember, things are like 60% more expensive here.
We have 12. Near perfect bike, overall, for the DR roads: paved, hard-pack, potholes, autopista, twisties, city, 2-up, you name it, and 60mpg. PLUS, unlike Beemers, nearly zero maintenance, just change the oil pretty much. The engine is a re-cammed SV650 motor, known as about as bullet-proof as is in existence.
Robert, this is an awesome thread!!! Thanks for thinking about this.

Thanks for the info CB! Do you ride on the stock trailwings? 70/30 tires sounds more realistic for everyday riding.
I will definitely join you on one of your rides one day soon and check out the bikes...what a great excuse for a "test drive"
I definitely miss riding...but I don't think either of my bikes...2003 HD Roadking or 2003 Bourget Low Blow Chopper would do too well over here....well maybe the Road King, but definitely no fun for the off-roading!
