Just ordered my new 650 al5
. Pre reg in late December 15 so on a 65 plate, zero miles. £5399 OTR for the basic bike, I'm adding lots of extras, Vario screen, knuckle guards, belly pan, centre stand, Givi top box and quick release panniers. Got the whole lot on 0% from Preston Superbikes, they are taking my Dragstar in p/ex at a fair price , should be delivered about the second week of Feb, they will collect my bike at the same time, can't wait.
I've read nothing but good reports about the Vstrom so I can't wait to own one. This site has been great for reading other people experiences of their own bikes and lots of interesting info on service costs, tyres etc.
It would be great to meet up with some of you later in the year, when the weather improves, also hoping to get involved in the ooh la la tour in June with Mrs B. I've already spoken to joerocket about the trip, just need to organise the rest of the visit to France and then should be able to confirm dates and times.
All I need now is for the bike to be delivered quickly so I can get some miles under my belt while we are having this nice dry weather.
When I get the bike I'm thinking of adding a 12v socket for a Sat Nav, has anyone done this? Where is the best place to site it (in the dash or under the seat) and is the wiring easy? I'm not much of a mechanic.
Thanks
Pete
