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.

Fallen out of love with the V-Strom.
I'd prefer not another adventure style bike. Although I'd like to try a 955 tiger.

Fallen out of love with the V-Strom.
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.

Fallen out of love with the V-Strom.
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.
