cheers, the clocks are great day and night easy to read and see, but like I have said before the high beam light on the dash is to bright at night. just done 340 miles on her, very comfortable and great fun to ride

Nice photos, are you on the Hirwaun to Brecon road there? Looks like Ystradfellte sign in the background.

Nice, loving the digi clocks, does it show you what gear you are in whilst riding or just neutral?

thanks for all the comments, done 1700 miles now, and she is riding like a dream, yes it does show all gears plus neutrul on the clock, not found any faults apart from the main beam light on dahboard, in the dark the lights are very good though see far ahead.

Where did you get her? Garlands? I'm heading to H'west at the end of the month and thinking of booking a ride if they've got a demo bike.

Great photo's of your new 650! Enjoy lots.

What's your views/experience with the new 650 V-Strom screen then? Any good at keeping wind buffering? I'm 6' 1" tall, I wonder how good it would be with over six footers?

Is the standard screen adjustable?

I'm just over 6' too and it's reasonably OK. You can set it at 3 different heights (with an allen key).
