Hello and thanks for the add
« on: October 09, 2024, 15:41:30 »
Hi and thanks for the add. I am a keen rider from the North East and ride all year.  Currently riding a GS850.  Always wanted a V-strom and now  bought a 2010, 650 to get me through the winter. Hopefully, I will be able to pick your brains for tips and advice? 
Thanks again for the add.
Richie

Welcome Richie13,
I  too got my 650 "to get me through the winter "... it got under my skin and is now my main ( and only) bike.
You have been warned :grin:
When you said GS 850 I think you meant the BMW ( all good) but am also sort of thinking 80s IL4 and shaft drive Suzy too.
Sorry , feeling me age :icon_wink:

Sorry, should've been more specific Nigel; it's a BMW F850GS.
