Thanks for the comment and the subscription! I rode back up to the Highlands to record the last road of the RTH - "Top 10 Roads" (Video should be out a week Wednesday, Sani Pass, South Africa this Wednesday). The whole day I was think what great bike this V-Strom 650 is, I don't really need another bike! LOL Thanks again @RW8560

I put a foot peg lowering kit and it’s great. You can find top piece for foot pegs who are not slippery. My garage…Africa twin 2024 ES DCT for long range, Honda NC750 DCT for daily and Honda CRF300L rally ABS…. I cannot complain, I have a 2021 V Strom 650 but with my 193 cm buffering is horrible and I have a Tenere 700 2024 for adventure/enduro riding. New subscriber

Hey that's interesting Francois, I'll look into the top pieces thanks so much for subscribing! I'm jealous of your garage, I've thought of adding a CRF300L to the garage with my V-Strom for riding more off road closer to home, Cheers! CD

Get Barkbusters handguards! They are SUPERB! And look great on my (2023) V-strom 650XT.

Great video, thank you. Can I ask, did you have any problem with installing the bar risers from 14:05 the point of view of cable lenghs, etc. That needed lenghening ?

I'm 6′ 6″ and I would love to have an Africa Twin 750 but I can't afford it. I am 52 years old and I am in the process of making arrangements to buy a 2019 Suzuki DL 650 V Strom, but it has no equipment on it. It costs 7100 USD

Hey! Thanks for commenting, I love my 650 V- Strom, I just spend way too much time looking at other shiney toys at the local dealership. You will not be disappointed, great choice, two thumbs up!

Hello. I have the same machine, my friend. If you were 190 cm tall and had all the trouble of height, which motorcycle would you want to ride?
@arthritic.adventures2 ай бұрын
Guilt as charged! I would ride my V-Strom, I just love the look of the Africa Twin and like a typical little kid I want something I can't have... LMAO Thanks for commenting, just subscribed to your channel. Cheers!

Is it? I just saw a review on the new BMW 1300GS. It actually lowers you when you stop? Nice, little scary of all the tech on the bike though, I can see big repair cost one day, thanks again for the comment!!!!
