Better Late than never. Its been a month of ownership now.
vstrom 650 was never my choice I almost bought a beamer 2013 F700 - but had to drop the plan at the last moment. A few things did not work out.
No regrets as I am loving the bigger ZMA
I had even test drove the Honda NC 700x the . But some how I didnt like the prallel twin. Bike was so light , I did not even get the confidence of going fast. I was not sure how stable its gonna be on texas highways - It was a straight no after the test drive
Choosing vstrom was a better choice, its bike very comfortable for tow up and reasonably good mileage too.
And with all those panniers carrying luggage is not a big deal at least for a weeks ride
Now I would post some pics from last four weekend rides. First two were just sunday afternoon rides with in 200 to 300 miles with in texas. This was more of ride to get used to know the bike...
Following weekend headed to Arkansas - 2 days trip and 1100 miles. And again the following weekend 1 day trip 600 miles. BTW Consider Arkansas as how wayanad was to me when I am in India (for those who know me
) . This is a beautiful state with lot of great roads , mountains , greenery any direction to take.
Now pics for those 2 arkansas ride will follow but for now some pics from the sunday ride. And yes I would write more abt the bike for those are interested to know about that
Not a great looker, but does the job well . bet it be 75 mph on highways or on twistiest on the hills
yes it does have a ABS and nothing to complain or brag about
Any resemblance to ZMA here ?
here is the lake we visited
Last pic for today
Ride safe !
