I've got a great deal of affection for my current Magna, it's a brilliant bike to ride and own, but before that the one I regret selling was my 2010 Suzuki V-Strom 650. It was a fantastic bike, just the epitome of comfort while floating about the place. I was living up in Lincolnshire at the time and, as with all vehicles that have the misfortune of being there, it was written off by an inattentive driver rear-ending me. I bought it back from the insurers, mostly fixed it, and kept riding for a time, but it was a bit tatty around the edges thereafter and I succumbed to the temptation to get something shinier and 'nicer'. I replaced it with two short-lived cruisers, followed by a Kawi Versys 650, but they were all downgrades to the Strom. I generally avoid owning the same model twice, because it feels like a waste to not try some new flavour instead, but I could see myself getting another V-Strom. Perhaps next time the bigger brother with the thousand, to have a similar riding experience but with considerably more grunt.
@TheSpectre223 sometimes you just click with a bike, and it really can be anything! I've clicked with my little RS, and did more miles on it than the other five put together! Get another 'Strom, you know you want to 😉👌
Hi mate. Nice little ride on the RS. That motor museum, i'm sure if you turn right opposite that museum place there's a motorcross museum or something🤔 Also, when you drop down the hill there's 3 or 4 ok byways down there in case you didn't know👍😎

I didn't know about the other place, I'll take a look. I'll leave the byways for another time on a different bike 👍
@MrDesmonick yes I would, they are probably quite rutted again now😁👍they were levelled off last year but getting rutted again😎
