New V Strom owner
« on: February 04, 2010, 12:47:08 »
Hi all,

I think I can safely say that I am officially the most excited person on the plant right now heh...

I get my hands on a shiny new V Strom at the end of the month  :thumb:

I decided to take the plunge and get one.  I always wanted one of these - even though most people say they are the ugliest bikes out there.  But if beauty is in the eye of the beholder then there must be something wrong with my eyes cos I'm in love  :grin:

I guess I am just an old man at heart (I'm a 30 year old woman btw) because sports bike just don't do it for me.

See you on the roads.

Welcome to the club :-) I can't say I think of my strom as anything like ugly - OK so it's no Augusta F4 but it has a certain charm ;)

I was sniffing round one of these recently, I think they are smart, particularly the yellow one.  :grin:

Hello from one 'Newbie' to another 'Newbie'.

It's most certainly not an 'Ugly' bike I love it had mine since September :)
