The sporty has the edge in torque. Overall though the vstrom is superior. Faster ,handles better,way more comfortable ,well over twice the fuel range,suspension is superior. Still have my sporty though. It could be a fun long term project .
 
time share

Who did you share them with? Like an actual time share? Is this a Bay area thing?

That sounds like a fantastic deal! I think I need to propose this to one of my friends in the NE so I can ride up there in the summers but not actually move there.

Thanks for the answer.
