Reckon that crow had young it was protecting?

Stop talking about the fog!

I plan to sell my 2007 Kawasaki Zx14r and buy a 2005 V-Strom just because its more fun to ride all around

My bike ❤

ktm are broke buddy

If you prefer to reach for the bars and you're ok with bending over to reach the bars, then why the heck did you install up and back risers??? That made no sense.

Soooo glad to see you back?

Been a long time since you posted, glad to see you are healthy, was a bit worried to be honest 👍

I have an 07 vstrom dl650, it has 50k miles on it , best bang for the buck ever .

Sorry to see you go. I really enjoyed watching your videos

Good to see you back at least for this one time. Maybe more….

I changed my mirrors, ditched the screen. Im only 174cm, no screen suits me best ( up to 135km/hr depends on direction of wind). Go naked

Absolutely brilliant! 😂

Madstad makes great windscreens that basically eliminate the buffeting, completely changed the ride.

Thanks for this video.

Thanks. Very helpful to get an Idea of the different seat hight. Exactly what I was searching for.

why are all these bikes always so clean, when mine is always dirty?

Imho, there is no place for music in a motorcycle review video, if there is nothing to say, just let us listen to the purrrr of the motor. Thanks

Good hands.. but 5 aces beat 4 .. nice style 👌..🇳🇿🇳🇿nz

Hi! Thanks for the hack, it worked almost well. Almost, because when ABS turned off, the check engine light turned on and FI error displayed. Did you experienced something like this? May I did something wrong? I have a 2018 DL 650 XT.

If you cant decide, buy the 800 😅

Good morning, I am considering getting a 650 and I am 6.4. Do you have trouble with your right foot resting on the exhaust? I have size 13 feet.

Hi, when you fit lowering brackets do you have to do anything to the gear lever or brake lever? Is this a non-invasive option?

Is that Robert Green Talking

nice ride, thanks for the ideas for my new 17 strom

I’m 6’7”, I did all the suggested adjustments plus dog bones 🦴. I still look like an ape 🦍 on this thing. Can you recommend a better more suitable bike?

thanks!!!

I recently sold my tl1000s with full yosh exhaust and bought a 2008 v-strom 1000. I sure miss the sound.

Hey CPUspeed what do you think of the MT-10's ergo? I am 6'1" with 33" inseam and my CB650R is plain horrible to sit on. I mean, thing is literally designed for Japanese ppl with average height of 170cm. You're even taller than me and I don't see you complaining about the Mt-10 ergo a lot.

BOC, what a fine taste

Hey Hi, what is the exact model of your wind deflector? Tnx.

Perfect, I'm around your height at 195cm, thanks. Raise seat, lower pegs, increase bar height, loner windshield and I should be very comfy on this bike.

Did you mod the exhaust, sounds like a shitty chainsaw. Sorry, but it sounds really bad at speed.

Hello, thank you for your video, a quick question, what size are you? I guess big enough?

Am with you dude, bought a 2023 Strom 650 to keep the miles off my XSR900, do find it heavy though

Great ride, My ride is a 14 Wee Strom ride mostly in the Ozarks, planning on creating as the weather improves.

I opted for the 650. I'm 60 years old and I've been riding motorcycles since I was 18. I've never seen any other motorcycle with such a satisfaction rating as the v,-strom .650. Definitely one of the best bikes ever made.

Legendary bike. Unbreakable. Wonderful cycling.

You ok? See you haven’t posted in a couple years

Curious, at your size (I’m similar), what sport bikes have you found most comfortable?

TC and ABS are totally unnecessary if you learn to ride properly on these bikes. The 650 strom doesn't have enough power to warrant either. Nice video. If love to switch off abs totally do I can put a proper rear disc on it.

Thanks for the review! I'm about to choose my first bike of this kind. I have found a vstrom 1000 from 2014 and a dl650 from 2009 and they are different but both beautiful. The price for the 1000 is so alluring that I think I'll go for it because I always do long trips with my girlfriend. I'm 5'.6" and I'm a little worried for the height. But not too much. What do you think? I'm not an off-road rider. Thanks guys

Sounds like you're very practical, as am I. I'm 60 years old and not in the best shape. I need another hip replacement really bad. I enjoy variety very much. I have a vino scooter 125, a Duke 390, a 1995 Yamaha YZF600R, 650 V Strom, a Valosia 805, a CBR1000RR, a ZX14R, a Voyager 1200, and a Concours 1000 that I'm trying to sell. I'm very interested in the Honda Hornet and or the the GSX 8S.

I have the 650 and the 1000 and they are both pretty much perfect for my needs .

Thank you for this great video with useful info, very beeautiful area, and a great V-STrom:)

Does anyone know what happened to cpuspeed?

Hi Interested to check out the accessories you have fitted to your Strom. I own a 2019 DL650A Strom, not the XT. Last of the alloy wheel models (in Australia). I wish to fit a sidestand foot as you have, (I had ordered a SW Motech one), but advise says you should NOT fit one with a centrestand. The problem apparently in that if you have the sidestand up, and the bike on the centrestand. When you push off the stand, the stand fouls on the larger sidestand foot, causing the centrestand to be held low. The stand can touchdown easily upon cornering. Dangerous. Have you any experience with this problem? Regards, Ray.

btw...there's no reason not to have both the 650 and 1000......

This little vid reminds me that i gotta take the V strom out into the CA wilderness real soon...it's been a minute! thanks for that....
