- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Outfitting my 650 Suzuki V-Strom for motorcycle camping, touring and better off-road performance. And I rant a little about Honda not making a 750 or 800 Africa Twin with the same great looks and all the bells and whistles? As a smaller rider, why do I get a severely bland looking water down Transalp? LMAO

Bagster tank cover V STROM DL 650 - lemon yellow / black Product Information
Bagster's tank covers have been specifically tailored to the individual tanks. With a huge array of models and colours to choose from there's sure to be something to suit your style and taste. To secure the PVC, waterproof cover there are straps with hooks on the end that attach the cover on either side of the tank. Generally the tank will not need to be removed to attach the cover. Please note that the cover may take up to 14 days to mould to the shape of the tank, in warmer weather this will happen faster. To clean use soapy water and a soft brush or sponge and regularly spray a waterproofing product on the seams. *Please note: All Bagster Tank covers are hand-made to order so are non-refundable unless there is a manufacturing fault.
'ROADER' €145,00 ($229)
Our 'ROADER' system tank bag is designed to be your daily companion. Its low height does not affect the maneuverability of the motorcycle or your freedom of movement and driving pleasure. Its variable volume of 12 to 22 liters is optimal and sufficient for the daily commute to work or even a day trip or weekend trip. Its finely embossed PVC surface with the attached, leather-like grained decorative elements and the diamond-shaped surface structure of the map compartment with decorations matching the exterior color make the 'ROADER' a real "EYECATCHER" that is not only convincing due to its external appearance.
Get Barkbusters handguards! They are SUPERB! And look great on my (2023) V-strom 650XT.
Yeah that's what I'm after too! Do you have any particular version Sean?
I put a foot peg lowering kit and it’s great. You can find top piece for foot pegs who are not slippery.
My garage…Africa twin 2024 ES DCT for long range, Honda NC750 DCT for daily and Honda CRF300L rally ABS….
I cannot complain, I have a 2021 V Strom 650 but with my 193 cm buffering is horrible and I have a Tenere 700 2024 for adventure/enduro riding.

Hey that's interesting Francois, I'll look into the top pieces thanks so much for subscribing! I'm jealous of your garage, I've thought of adding a CRF300L to the garage with my V-Strom for riding more off road closer to home, Cheers! CD
Always enjoy your videos, riding the highlands is something that I would like to try out, keep up the good work, look forward to more videos!
Thanks for the kind comment, Ken. Get on the RideTheHighlands.ca site, and they will send you a free map of all the routes.
Just subbed, can't beat the vstrom 650, fantastic bike, I like those tyres!
Thanks for the comment and the subscription! I rode back up to the Highlands to record the last road of the RTH - "Top 10 Roads" (Video should be out a week Wednesday, Sani Pass, South Africa this Wednesday). The whole day I was think what great bike this V-Strom 650 is, I don't really need another bike! LOL Thanks again @RW8560
@@arthritic.adventures You know the end of this video got me thinking, Africa twin!
I'm 6'1" and well able for the size of the big Honda,
The tubed wheels have put me off up till now but Honda have now released a version with 17-19 cast wheels with tubeless tyres...
@@roadwarrior8560...lmao... ...best look adventure bike by far and legendary Honda reliability...
Everyone up for a few adventures in South Africa between motorcycle adventures?
Really great video!
Thank-you very much, and thanks for protecting the free world for 30 year!
Hello. I have the same machine, my friend. If you were 190 cm tall and had all the trouble of height, which motorcycle would you want to ride?
Guilt as charged! I would ride my V-Strom, I just love the look of the Africa Twin and like a typical little kid I want something I can't have... LMAO Thanks for commenting, just subscribed to your channel. Cheers!
