Hello from North London
« on: October 28, 2025, 08:52:34 »
Just to say hello. I have been riding for a while, mainly Hondas....My transalp 700 is up for sale and when it's gone I am looking to get 2015 onwards Vstrom 650. I ride year round in all weather and hope that Vstrom will not disappoint...

Hello and  :welcome2:. I don't think you will be disappointed with a V-Strom. Now as you have introduced yourself, why don't you advertise your Honda in the "For Sale" section of this site.  :thumb:

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

750 TA is lovely, unfortunately too expensive for me at the moment, maybe in the future

They are a nice bike, surprisingly light too. I've had two 600 Transalps before and they were both were great bikes too. The 650 V-strom is a cracker of a bike and you won't be disappointed, just look out for the usual signs of wear & tear   :thumb:
