You know what a fan of V-stroms I am....................not
Its a really nice bike though, and I can vouch for its history having seen it in my rear view mirror for most of those 13,000 miles

Very funny you know i'd have to go on a BTEC diploma to learn how to do somthing like that being a techiophobe
Yes, found a Tiger on an 09 plate with low miles locally , should get it later in the week or early next week . Really enjoying the V-strom but have got to get the Tiger thing out of my system. Only time will tell if I'm doing the right thing  |

Good choice. Scarred me silly when I rode one, so bought a grown ups bike instead
No hope of me keeping up with you on the LC4 unless you promise to stay in first gear  _________________ Wideload

It went well , but needs me to fit the new rear tire thats sitting in the garage struggled a bit up the grassy slopes . Deffinatly a bike to plough through the rough like an ice breaker rather than skit over the top like an Ice dancer  |
