Re: Fallen out of love with the V-Strom.
 
What are you looking for in a bike, what do you dislike about the Strom? Have a good think and see what there is.

But what ever you do don't buy that lego MX bike, it looks like a KTM so it'll break toot sweet, they all do...

Fallen out of love with the V-Strom.
 
I want comfort, knee down possibility, weather protection, and sexy. Among other things but that's what comes to mind immediately.

I'd prefer not another adventure style bike. Although I'd like to try a 955 tiger.

Too small.
As above.
Meh.
Too expensive.

I know it seems I'm very quick to dismiss ideas and come up with problems but truth is, I don't know what i want.

Ducati 796 Monster. Can be picked up cheap now as there are two bigger ones around. If you do decide on a change, let me know what you want and I'll put the word out.

I'm going to write off ducati. I can't be dealing with potential unreliability. A ducati doesn't necessarily have the potential for reasonable economy.

Rubbish
They are as reliable as the Japs and have larger service intervals
