Well done mate, I was looking at a White one in the showroom last week, very nice.

What made it even better was that they hadn't cleaned it since the last test rider so it was well splashed with mud.

Looked much more like a real Strom than the shiny showroom versions do! :auto-dirtbike:  :auto-dirtbike:

Good stuff - is the BM or XR going or is it a three-bike stable for you now?

Nice one!

Get the bike dealer to fit a 'Scott-Oiler' on your Vstrom ready for you to collect etc, think they're about £100-£110, but well worth it.

I got a Scot-Oiler fitted to my K8 DL1000 when I got it new, brilliant purchase!!!!

Enjoy lots, post pics when it arrives.
