Well done. The engine sound is wonderful. Will you stick to the V Strom for touring? In the frozen northern hemisphere now but only about two months until it's time for two wheels. Planning a tour of (old north) Wales this summer!
The front end looks & lights make it appear to be missing it’s fairing ,like one of them ugly Triumph . I am not into any of this tech ,it’s just more to go wrong & not needed . I prefer normal controls & proper cable operated throttle .all my bikes have traction control ,it’s called the rider using proper acquired skills & riding to the weather & road conditions . These bikes with all this tech ,are the product ,of Motorcycle manufacturers ,allowing computer gamer nerds ,loose in their design departments . All these modern street bikes look like squashed up insects or transformers , they even make my little 250 DE V Strom look pretty in comparison .
I agree with most of your comment, but time and technology waits for no man! It's the same with cars, you can't buy one that you can repair yourself - At least they're not electric yet Brother!!
A clear, logical & pleasantly delivered review. Thank-you.
Glad you enjoyed it!, thanks for the comment.

Yeah mate love the Wee Strom. Probably will re-gear it taller soon. Thanks for the comment and have a great tour, I miss the old place
FYI: You have the standard seat, Got Cat-delete pipe and third-party oilcooler grid. I think pwr mode 3 do limit the power on the engine.
Thanks for that info buddy, and for commenting.
Nice... thank you... dave AZ... arizona
Thanks Dave, greetings from Oz and safe travels.
If I kept a bike in the living room, I would be sick of the sight if it within a week.. Nice choice
Thank you John, I'm not sure the wife would would go for it either.
NAP TIME!!!
Sleep well brother
