Hello all!
My name is George and I ride a 2023 V-Strom 650, just down sized from an RT1200 and found the V-Strom on par with the RT in every respect and a considerable amount lighter and easier to handle, I highly recommend them to senior riders like myself 70 this week and hope to ride on for many years to come.
I live in Llanelli South Wales.

This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can. Nothing travels faster than the speed of time.
