Thought I would join this site, looking at 650 as a second bike. Something I would use through the winter months. I've just got myself a Super Tenere 1200 Raid model ( sorry) I did consider Suzuki before buying! It's not been easy, I've owned 7 GS's over last 15 years, just needed a change. This site looks great, have enjoyed looking through it.

 :welcome2: Don't apologise about the Super Tenere, I sold my vstrom to buy one earlier this year. The 650 strom is still an excellent bike and will get another at some point in the future, I'm sure of it. There are plenty of other traitors like me in Traitors Corner. :thumb:
