I was also torn between both of those bikes.

I got an awesome deal on an M50 so I got neither......

Now that I have an M50, my C50 envy has gone away. I still drool over the Strom though. Maybe someday it will be mine.

Wow, two very different motorcycles. I would vote for the VStrom as it suits my ridding style better. It realy depends on what you want to do with it and the type of ridding you want to do.

I vote V-Strom but I am a little biased. But then again I have both types. But the Strom is an all around better bike for doing more.

We've already got a conversation going here, and this is the polls forum.
