Hello all!

I'm trading in my ZZR1400 for a 2021 V-Strom 1050XT Tour on 01/08 - really excited!  I've been looking at the V-Strom since one of the bike shows at the NEC a few years ago and I kind of vowed that it would be my next bike and I'm super excited to be getting back on a Suzuki!

  A bit of a power difference there, I hope the strom is enough!

Tbf - the ZZR has too much power for most people I reckon! Plus, I've had it 6 years and it's time for a change.

I find myself just wanting to go on a nice comfortable, enjoyable ride nowadays - the ZZR is that little bit too aggressive and the riding position is not ideal for longer journeys. Great bike though!
