Fallen out of love with the V-Strom.
As the title suggests. Is it possible to rekindle our love? Do I buy a new bike?
If so what do I buy? |

Can you modify the bike so that it is more in character with what you want? Ask yourself what you are looking for in a bike and see if the V-Strom is what you really want. I have slowly been turning my SVs K3 into a sportier V-Strom and it is lovely. I call it my SV-strom! =D> |

Have you got decent tyres on it or still the battlewings?

New tyres, sort the suspension.
Get out there and look for adventure it doesn't come looking for you |
Re: Fallen out of love with the V-Strom.
Try to remember what is was about the bike that you liked in the first place. You bought it for a reason.
Why do you think you've fallen out of love with it? Has there been a specific incident that has made you question the bike or is it more a boredom issue? |

Ride it!!!!

Fallen out of love with the V-Strom.
I've recently got new tyres for it and am hoping it'll help.
I'm basically just bored. I bought it because it was highly recommended by a friend and the salesman talked me into it. I'm not too keen on mods in general and don't think it'll make much of a difference. Being the kind if bike it is, it's perfect for long distance touring and commuting. But those aren't fun to me. I think ninthbike has a good point, once I've ridden it a bit more I'll probably find it's redeeming factors. But it's still not making me feel excited and doesn't make me want to get up every morning and ride it til bedtime like my SV did. |
