Obligatory Hello Message
« on: August 12, 2019, 00:49:02 »
Hello V-Strom club people. Matt from Manchester here. I'm currently not a DL owner - Suzuki Gixer 600 SRAD is my current machine, fun bike but not great for the week long tours me and the lads (mostly GS/Tiger/TDM owners) are planning on for future ride outs. After some research into touring bikes, I've landed on the DL650 as my ideal match and so thought this would be a good place to start for advice, information and potentially a purchase if one in my limited budget happens to surface. I'm sure you all look forward to the ensuing newbie questions as much as I look forward to the "repost of this thread from 6 years ago" answers... :lala: hopefully I don't make too many annoying mistakes
