Well after being a regular on here and having owned several DL1000’s from K2 to K6, with a DL650 thrown in there too I defected in 2016 and bought a Tiger800. I’m sorry to say I loved it more than any of the vstroms I’d had, predominantly because thanks to a serious accident I’d had in 2007 I have a lot of issues with comfort thanks to the injuries to my legs. The tiger was more comfortable out the box than my vstroms without any modifications. Well thanks to old injuries rearing their head I did a pitiful 600miles in 2018, thinking things were better and having made plans for a better 2019, I got about 200 miles in in spring before disaster struck again so rather than the tiger sit in the garage depreciating and not getting used I sold it.
Last week I found out there’s a 14mm piece of bone floating around in my knee, which should be getting removed next Thursday with a quick keyhole surgery. So with the hope I’ll be bike fit again by the spring a purchase was made today. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER VSTROM (2016) ENTERING THE GARAGE ON MONDAY!! I have returned to the dark side and must say I’m looking forward to it.
