Not a VTR, but she's mine
Re: Not a VTR, but she's mine
That's frickin nasty looking. Hope you enjoy it does this mean you'll ride quicker down the country lanes?
Re: Not a VTR, but she's mine
A mates got one and he is decent quick on it. His partner loves it as its so cumfy.
Re: Not a VTR, but she's mine
Will definitely be soing Wales, it will only cost like 1 tank of fuel
It may mean that CK, it may not. We'll have to find out, gotta get rid of the bloody Bridgestones at some point and put Metzelers on first

Re: Not a VTR, but she's mine
I actually quite like the look of it. Hope you enjoy it
Re: Not a VTR, but she's mine
Well it's like YMV really. As ugly as wombles but is reliable and runs well.
With mileage to a tank like that I think the two of you will get on just fine and it a V

Nice one virt, I'm not a complete fan of the looks, but it looks like it will be comfy and soak up the miles fella, and you still have a v twin

I was originally going for an Aprilia Dorsoduro when I posted that, but I realised that fuel stops every 100 miles + no wind protection would just piss me off.. So I changed my mind

You said that about the storm
Re: Not a VTR, but she's mine
On that note before you hand over your hard earnt dosh - research Suzuki build quality as for example Bazza's brother and Seb's Suzys both corroded rapidly.
Surprised you went new - as with the new Honda Africa Twin coming out very soon I expect many bargain secondhand Honda Adventure bikes i.e Varaderos, CrossTourers, old style Africa Twins etc glutting the market.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

All the best with it Virt - I've had a lot of fun riding "fuglies".......
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
Re: Not a VTR, but she's mine
I like it got to be more economical comfy to commute on.
looks like bwm gs.
Think mines going up soon want something to do long miles and maybe commute on if i get a job.

Re: Not a VTR, but she's mine
IMO looks don't matter that much. Most bikes that are practical, comfortable and good to ride are not exactly beautiful, like an 1199 or something, but I bet after a long, full day's ride most people would rather be on an ugly piece of sh1t than a good looking back and wrist torture machine.

Re: Not a VTR, but she's mine
At least you can keep riding when the road says stop for a VTR.
I'd have one, i just wouldn't tell anyone ;)
Hope you get many years of smiles out of it and it takes where the VTR couldn't ;)
Can you turn the ABS off on your bike?
