A return to biking...and my first Suzuki
« on: September 22, 2025, 22:30:52 »
Picked up my 2020 DL650 about 6 weeks ago, really enjoying riding a "modern bike". My previous bike was a 1992 Yamaha FJ1200 that I sold about 5 years ago after owning it for 25 years. The v-strom is so much lighter, comfortable and better suited to our poor road
surfaces.
