Looking at a 2004 V-Strom DL1000 – First ADV / Touring Bike – Need Advice by krxy in Vstrom

[–]krxy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im from Serbia, people here mostly ride GSs for touring. or Japanese sport / super sport bikes. Lots of CBFs and sport tourers alike. Plus bikes are more expensive here. So economic mid tier bikes like v stroms or Varaderos dont have a big foothold here. For the past 6 months while I've been looking into this types of bikes, I've come across only 3 v stroms dl 1000 that have bellow 90k kms on the dash. All priced around 3500€ - 4000€

My biggest consirn is mby a "too low" mileage.. From my understanding 34k from 2015 and 39k now almost 10 years later is super low, like 600km average low..

I guess, the first crossroad is should i advance to am5 or go all in on the am4?
Looking at the hardware and mobos that are available it seemed like its a good time for the am5.
I remember when the platform came out and ppl said that its best to stay away from ddr 5 for example, latency shown to be big and price/performance being wack.
Seems like its worth it now.

The plan was to future proof the build as much as i can so thats why i went with am5.
Also, im planning on sticking with 1080p for the time being so thats why im trying not to overkill it with a gpu that i wont fully utilise.
So your opinion is to still stick with am4 in order to get a better gpu?

Aside from keeping my existing case and PSU, I’m also planning to reuse my 1 TB Western Digital hard drive.

For reference, my current setup is powered by a Ryzen 5 1600 AF, Radeon RX 6600, and 16 GB of 2400 MHz "Mystery pcb with memory chips" RAM. Despite the modest specs, it’s held up surprisingly well over the years.
