Hi Guys,
I'm from SoCal and im in the process of getting an FZ09. I have already put down a deposit 2 months ago and still waiting for the bike to arrive at the dealership. Then it hit me, that bike wouldnt be a very good choice for long rides / cross country , which I will eventually do a few months down the road. I looked at cruisers and other flavors and then came across adventure bikes. I read about the GS and Vstrom which are pretty common in the summer here in AK ( I work alternately in Ak and CA every other month) The GS1200 is pretty popular but heard maintenance dept (not to mention the OTD price) Then I saw the S10 and liked it, value for money wise. I decided I am going to get it and ditch the FZ09.
I am looking at the prices of the S10 and they have significantly dropped specially the '12s. Is there any major difference between the '12 and the '13? Have you guys ever had any major problem with yours bikes? Advice/suggestions/information will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
