That new car smell!

Was going to the dealer to take a shot at a 2016 V-strom in trade towards my NC700. I had a deal going with the Honda dealership for a NOS 2014 NC manual. But, like when I bought my CTX, I wanted to give the "Other guys" a chance.
I didn't think I'd wind up with one of these:
2018 Kawasaki Versys 650!!!
The same guy who sold me my CTX, who is now a sales manager, came out, walked me through some numbers and he beat Honda...AGAIN!!!
After my trade in I had to pay $4900. I know, someone could have gotten a better deal but I am happy and that's all that matters to me! The thing is, I didn't even think I could get the V-strom for the $$$ I was willing to throw down. The Versys was out of the question as it was MORE than the V-strom. Turns out, Kyle worked better numbers for the Versys and, arguably, I rode home on a better motorcycle!

Not really my thing but hey. I agree with J leno --I like a bikes I can see through.
That generally covers it pretty well I thought.
I must admit I like to see a bit of an oil leak and some alluminum and maybe some neat allen head screws N stuff, you know engineering bits rather than wipe clean. Looks like it got good anchors.
Not every one does --if it floats you boat enjoy it. Life is short especially if you ride motor bikes.
