Hello from Lincolnshire
« on: October 12, 2023, 14:44:18 »
Hello everyone

Joining you all from Lincolnshire.

My new to me DL650, 2010 model with only 14K miles on the clock. I got this as an addition to my Royal Enfield Himalayan. Love that bike, great for the green lanes and trails but to be honest, absolutely hopeless on the motorways/freeways. Doing a lot more touring now so the V-Strom came highly recommended and ticks all the boxes of my needs with that bit more BHP.

I have found this forum useful whilst doing my research, so thank you.

If anyone has any tips or advice on the bike I have, they would be greatly appreciated!

Safe riding.

J

To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Nice bike, many of our members say that it is the best model. I'll bet that pipe booms.  :auto-dirtbike:  :welcani:
