Hello folks, potential new owner of a 650 having a test ride next week, limited experience really had a VFR800 for a few years but got rid a 4 years ago but heard that the v-stroms are a bit more tall and heavy person friendly so hoping all goes well.

Great, under-rated bikes the stroms! If you can, get one with a beak, they're definitely the best :dance:
