After faffing around looking for a new bike, my hand was finally forced when my enduro bike's battery caught fire from an internal short circuit! Fortunately, GT Motorcycles in Plymouth did me a great deal on a new pre-registered V-Strom 650 AL6 ABS, with 4 miles on the clock, and even delivered it to my house this last Wednesday! I love it; it feels like a Rolls Royce against my ATK. It's only going to take a few days to get up to 600 miles and the first service ????. It has the hand/lever guards, lower cowling and a OEM topbox on, for the princely sum of £5999. I haven't owned a Suzuki since the seventies when a TS100 served me well on and off-road. Well chuffed!
