After almost two years and 15,000 very enjoyable miles on the V-Strom the time has come to move on. Having recently moved to the North Pennines and to a smaller house with quite difficult access and having also retired (no more commuting) I decided that I needed a smaller, lighter machine purely for leisure use. Enter stage left the new SV650. I looked at everything else on the market but I wanted to maintain my relationship with the delightful 90 degree "V" twin and nothing else came close in terms of value for money. So thanks for all the help that I have received on the forum it has been much appreciated.
Geoff.
