Title: New (to me) Vstrom. Old rider
Post by: Wavey Dave on August 17, 2025, 08:21:48

Good morning all. Had my 2016 Vstrom for a little over a week now. Absolutely loving the bike. Came off a CB1300 (had 3 of those) looking forward to putting on some miles and Getting to know her better. I've been riding over 40 years now 365. (No longer do snow if I can help it) for the last 20 years every bike has been close to a litre or plus. I need to update my list but I reckon I have been through over 100 bikes. Looking forward to sharing and swopping stories and information with you all on here.
Pleased to meet you all
Best
Dave

Hello Dave and   :welcome2:. I don't think you will miss those large cc bikes now as you have a trusty V-Strom, it will do everything well.  :thumb:

From a big Honda to a STrom, it can be done, I'm living (almost) proof.
Enjoy it.
Upt.

Similar to me Dave. My last bike ( tuned gen 2 Fazer 1000) had more than double the hoss of my 650  :dl_hyperhysteria:
Fitted a 14 tooth front sprocket and am always surprised what the little strom will do  :thumb:   And I don't have to get a new rear tyre every 3 months  :icon_wink:

Welcome.
