Another ride to Liverpool for work. Nice to have some half decent weather for a change and to come home in daylight (last ride there was mid-January). Noticed today that my £30 'Dr Bike' heated grip has finally worn through on the throttle side, and there's now an exposed wire. Not bad given I added them shortly after getting the bike in 2012, and they've done c. 67,000 miles. Sadly J&S Accessories don't sell them anymore so will probably end up buying some Oxford ones next.
Hello man, no idea if I'm going to get a response. But any idea which footpeg rubbers you used, diameter wise etc. The ebay links have all been deleted over time, if you have any idea id lpve to know because I'm having the same problem thanks!
... V-Strom in general are bullet proof, 650 lighter and frugal on fuel compared to other models, and like always... you pays your money and makes your choice
Just wanted to say Hi, just about to retire and thinking of returning to biking. My last steed was a special edition Triumph Daytona which I sold some 20yrs ago maybe. I don't want a big heavy speed job, which is why I fancy a V Strom 650. Hopefully reliable, nothing fancy, and not too expensive to run. Don't intend on a new one but a low mileage 2009 model perhaps. Any guidance appreciated
