Got a lift to Single Tracker Suzuki in Crewe today. Got the handover and run down of my new bike. Did a Supertramp and 'took the long way home'. Washed the dirt off and put away ready for a proper set to with the ACF50 gun tomorrow.



I am still trying to remember how to change things on the screen. Reading the manual to find out how to change the clock!

 

[Robbi]

Fantastic . Health to enjoy Sir

 

[Micky]

Nice one Simon .... hope you get plenty of miles'n smiles in with it



If I may .... better than Supertramp ....

Similar here. Yesterday i picked up my 21 plate Vstrom 650 XT with just 350 odd miles on the clock from A&D Denbigh. Bonus is, i get the full Suzuki warranty with it.
Long way home and what a treat the bike is, handles well, preset non adjustable suspension excellent, engine a peach, just a great all rounder and a worthy replacement for my Himalayan. There's now a good chance my 1200 GS will go as i can't see why or when i would ride it.

Ahh... nice to talk with you Simon...

Lovely bike, enjoy it mate

Love the colour

 

[Blue]

Nice looking Bike and my favourite colour.

 

[King Rat]

Thanks guys, I had no choice in the colour because the bike was pre registered. Suzuki blue though suits it.

Lovely middleweight bikes, hope you get many years enjoyment out of it. Had my DL650 for just over 5 months and it did me proud over winter, after plastering it with Lanoguard. Despite the modest power output, it has enough midrange guts to leave you not wanting for any more from a bike and the suspension, even on my older model, is very plush and makes for a comfortable ride. What impresses me most for me anyway is the ergos and handling. It's all day comfortable for me and has lovey neutral and stable handling, making it feel a lot lighter than its 230kg has any right to. Haven't worked out exact mpg but it's good, certainly around the 60mpg mark. For solo riding, it'd make a great tourer, but it's also a smart commuting choice and its pokey enough to have a bit of fun with. Great little bikes. I'm sure that the newer 800's are a more exciting ride but time will tell if they're as characterful and reliable as the older 650's. My only grips are that the front fairing is a pig to get off to get to some dodgy wiring to one of my daytime running lights although most other jobs aren't too bad. I like the blue, it suits the bike, especially with the matching wheel colour
