New forum member here, and relatively new owner of a V-Strom 650XT (2021) 👋.
Great to meet you all. I live in the Reading area. I passed my A licence in November but it was 34 years in the making. Better late than never! I am planning to do some touring with friends in Wales/Scotland in the Spring, and am already booked on a 6 day tour in southern Spain in September.
I'm loving the V-Strom. I bought it second hand from a dealer in South Wales with just 800 miles on the clock.
There was a bit of confusion on my part as the dealer didn't specify it was an XT version although it clearly is. The V5 document states that it is a "DL650 X AM1" (type WC70, variant: 1, version: EURO 5 / 1). I couldn't find anything meaningful about "DL650 X AM1" online so maybe someone more knowledgeable here can advise? Why isn't it registered as an XT? I did a Car Vertical check on it using the VIN and it checked out OK.
