Trading the Ninja.
 
Had enough of it. It's going. Trading it in for something completely different, a DL1000 V-Strom. I just miss the thump thump and want to do some touring and use a bike for commuting. Anyone need a rack and sticky seat for a p7f ninja?

Wow, that is differant. Why not get something like a triumph tiger? have you considered anything else?

Be interested to know what you make of the DL thou', fuel economy etc etc

Tiger 1050 is a good bike.. get the TOR exhaust and the panniers, and you're sorted. :D

I bought one cos i've always wanted one. Nearly bought one when i got the ninja. Then they stopped making them. But the shop had one brand new one in and I took that as a sign to just get it!

I've based this decision on many things but the key one is that I wasn't really enjoying the whole 6ft 3 on a sportbike head down everywhere in pain. Finally decided i'm an old man and need an old mans bike. It still has a hundred bhp though so I'll be grinning a lot and I get a top box!!

Almost my plan, i was gonna do that and have heated grips and hand gaurds :D

i need the money first though. may "upgrade" to a pointy SV in the near future.

Oops silly me I forgot the heated grips.. Lmao.

Hand guards maybe a stretch too far.. get the centre stand as well! :p

Handguards are amazing.
I could even argue better than heated grips.
Winter riding will never be the same.

I get all that on the strom. I've already done the deal. Looked at a lot of bikes in the last 6 weeks but always came back to the strom. I just like them (no one else does but I don't care). I just think I needed a suzuki with that engine in it. In two weeks i'm gonna have one!!
