Hi to all - Strom owner at last!
« on: July 14, 2016, 11:21:07 »
Hi all, after taking my first test ride on a Wee-Strom 12 years ago I finally got around to buying one. Previously seduced by a SV650s then Aprilia SL1000r (Falco) but now need to commute as much as possible by bike due to car aggrivated sciatica - ouch!

Have to say so far I am loving my Wee-Strom XT, comfy, relaxed, agile, mirrors I can see stuff in.

I didn't go looking for the XT model it found me, got a great deal from KC Superbikes in Carlisle and couldn't refuse.
