Niiice, thanks. Great photos, the styling updates are a lot more obvious now. IMHO, it looks best in white.

I agree, I think it also looks best the white. Something about the black, grey and white colour scheme just works. You are most welcome for the photos! I had to hit up all my media sites for the 1680x1050 desktop sizes and choose from what they had there. As you know, I (Total Motorcycle) believe in quality and if I have to wait for an extra day or a week to get that I think it's worth it in the long run. :D

Can't wait to see it in real life and really see the changes.

Oh, I also grabbed the Horsepower and Torque specs too (they are in the specs on the 2012 Vstrom page near the bottom). I haven't did a vs the 2010 V-Strom yet to see if the power increased or not...

Looking at the new 2012 stats, I think I would rather give up the horsepower for more torque. My 2007 V-Strom had really great torque and less of it in favor of higher speeds (it already went plenty fast) isn't want I would want. It is good to see though that torque comes on a little earlier than before (1000rpm less).
