I traded in the V Strom on a KTM Duke 390. The V Strom was just too big and heavy for city use and difficult to get in and out of the garage. The KTM is very light, quite powerful and generally fun to ride. I test rode the Royal Enfield Continental GT, SV650 (LAMS restricted version) and the Yamaha MT-03. The KTM won because it was on special with a $1000 off and the dealer gave me a really good trade in value on the V Strom. The Yamaha came in a close second, but the dealers valuation of my trade in wasn’t enough to sway me.

Now I have to run it in!
