Trade for a Vstrom 1000 or 1050?

[Ben Oldschool]

I really like my Vitpilen 701 & so I thought I’d give the Norden 901 a try. While I feel the Vit is a pretty special bike, I can’t say the same for the Norden. The Norden while premium in appearance & parts it rides and feels like junk. It squeaks and chirps. The clutch lever and shifting action is complete garbage and the “Easy Shift” only works 87% of the time. These Parallel Twins are becoming overproduced by everyone most especially PMG by the Chinese. Anyone have a 1000 or 1050 (1037cc) VStrom they’d like to trade? Something that doesn’t get marketed as “premium” but a bike produced and assembled by Japanese which rides and performs in a premium manner?
I want a real V-Twin, not another 270degree cranked parallel twin.
