Hi, not a Strommer as yet but looking to get one to replace my Moto Guzzi V7 Stone which is a little challenged 2 up if otherwise a good little bike .....anyway I walked to my local 24 hour garage supermarket to get a loaf of bread and some milk (wild lifestyle I know) and there was a V strom 650, one of the newer ones just starting up after filling up with fuel complete with pillion rider. So I went over and asked what it was like for pillions. The bloke said it was good and then asked if I wanted to sit on it which I did and we had a bit of a chat and he told me all I needed to know. What a great bloke - friendly, helpful and with plenty of time for a chat - are all Strommers like that?
I am looking forward to getting a ride on one soon, it felt like a good bike stationary.

Hi & welcome.
Of course apart from the odd exception, you will find that "we are all charming, witty and devilishly handsome too!" (Loggamat, 2013).
