Hello from rabm
« on: March 18, 2024, 14:08:06 »
Hello from ram, I'm 70, just changed to a vstrom 650 as its lighter. More fuel efficient than the bigger heavier bikes I've had and, its a 2023 xt it looks dam good.
I've trips planned, BSB in Pamplona April and 2 weeks touring in Spain in May.
I'm looking forward to riding the new bike on the trips from my Glasgow home,
Regards Robert

You're never too old to appreciate a 650 V-Strom. Your birth certificate may say 70 but when you ride that bike you'll be 25 again. Enjoy.  :thumb:
