Hi folks. I am in the beggining stages of planning a cross-Canada road trip by bike and am planning on buying another bike. My sights are set on the Vstrom 650 right now and I need a bit of feedback.
I would like to know about how this bike performs off pavement. I would mainly run dirt FSR roads and the like. I would probably not see any single track or any other difficult terrain besides those FSR roads that I mentioned. I think that the Strom would be more than capable of handling what I throw at it but I would like to hear from someone who has one for an opinion on the subject.
I have a couple of specific examples of the types of roads that I will be encountering in mind. The road from Clinton over to Pavillion would definetly be on my hit list. The Hurley road from Pemberton to Gold bridge is on there as well. Would the Strom be capable of handling this type of terrain?
As you can see, this is the type of riding that I like to do. For the more intense rides, I keep my KX500 around for.
Any opinions appreciated.

. A perfect bike for one up riding. Lots of value for the money, a bike for real world riding.
