Hello
« on: February 01, 2023, 21:30:16 »
New bloke here.  Currently in the middle of a protracted move to France and can’t take my current bikes (BMW R1200S/Triumph Speed Twin) and recently sold a Fazer1000 so having had my eye on V stroms over the years as a Fazer alternative (sit up and beg position with wind protection) I shall be looking to purchase one in France. Might go for a 14/15 model to see how I like them first with a view to getting an orange/white 1050XT later on. Used bikes are way more expensive in France than the U.K. hence an older model first.

I have a 2015 650, I don't feel the need for anything bigger.
The older I get, the better I was.
