Well, Sunday I finally made the plunge! After nearly 2 years together, I traded in the GS for a DL650 V-Strom. I decided a while ago that it was the most logical "next" step for me. I really wanted one with ABS, but it wasn't going to happen, so I settled for one without it.
The new "Wee-Strom" is gray...and I'll get bags/cases in a couple of months when the finances recover.
For the first few hundred miles, I have to keep it under 5,000 RPM, but that gets me up to 68 MPH, so it will be a piece of cake.
I'll still visit this forum, even though I'm now kinda too cool for you guys, but I kinda feel sorry for all of you. :kiss3:
Thanks to everyone who ever helped with anything. This really is one of the best and most useful sites going, and it's a lot of fun, too! Thanks to the mods who keep it going! :bowdown:
Good luck on your new bike, the wee strom is a great bike. Glad ya stuck with suzuki.
Keep us in the loop on how it's going... probably be the way I'll go.
Ride review please.
you have my sympathy :laugh:
