First big bike V-Strom 650
« on: July 23, 2024, 13:36:01 »
New rider, passed my test a week ago, first big bike, pick it up tomorrow.
Me - 54 years young. Bike only 1 year old. Low mileage, fully kitted at a local dealer, bargain price.
Looking forward to reading the posts and learning more about the bike.
Riding tips too.
