My First Ever V Strom
« on: December 20, 2011, 18:55:18 »
My first ever V Strom 650ABS 61 plate

Extras included: mudguard Extenda, Hand Guards and Expedition Boxes (not shown) were put on by B and B, Lincoln with decals (Dakar in gold) against the black which looks good and not out of place.  I've since added Engine Bars and Engine Belly Protector with a view to having heated grips fitted to and perhaps a top box in the new year.

Hi - paid about the same as you a couple of weeks ago.  Due its first service already....

Its the standard 650 ABS but being the last in the shop they threw a load of extras at it to get it sold.

Am also an ex bandit rider but this is by far the best ride for me, but having said that it is a completely ride.  

Catch you later

Looks good :thumb:

I'd recommend R&G heated grips when you get some.

got my vee strom christmas eve which I've ridden two miles on due to the crap weather, found some very minor things I need to do are B&B  in Lincoln any good for genuine Suzuki spares, live near Gainsborough so they are not too far away.
Bought bike from Slipstream motorcycles in Skegness who were brilliant to deal with, compared to Viva Moto in Bradford who are just rip off merchants for the unwary
