If it's a 1k then it's a Vee. The 650 is the Wee

I've heard nothing but good about the versys. The local Kawi dealership won't allow test rides or I'd try one out. I've been dying to take one for a ride just to see what it can do.

This is prolly the best statement here, the Vstrom 1000 will still have most of the power of the buell, and be as capable off road as the verseys, That being said, the verseys is an excellent bike competent, comfortable, and an all around do everything bike.

I think that you are gonna miss the power and handling of the buell though. You could prolly get a decade old lightly farkled KLR for 1500. Grex paid $1500 for his and is also keeping the busa, I paid 2500 for mine (half his bikes age and many aftermarket parts) and am keeping my cbr.
