New DL1000 owner from Leicester
« on: April 26, 2018, 18:50:20 »
Hi
I have just put a deposit on a mint condition 2014 DL1000
Hopefully I will be collecting it next Tuesday :)
I owned a 2003 Vstrom 1000 many years ago and liked it.
Hoping the new model is just as nice if not better!
Coming from a Triumph Tiger 800 which was a nice bike but I didn’t like the vibes at certain speeds :(
I have already ordered a Givi Rack so I can fit my V46 box on.
Really looking forward to collecting it :D

I don’t think I was a member when I had my original 2003 Vstrom 1000 :)

Another ex tiger800 owner now on a Veek. Welcome. You'll enjoy the extra low down pull, the brakes and suspension but not the weight, seat or screen, can't win em all! Servicing might be cheaper too but as its a Suzuki I just change the oil and forget it!
