So I bought a Vstrom 1050.

Here she is, my new trusty battle frigate 🤣
SD card kept switching the gopro off so I ended up with just enough scraps to upload.

I love it Dunc. Perfect colour choice, cracking big bike, perfect time to buy it due to the now different variants of that model meaning you’d have got that cheaper. Perfect engine, perfect design, it’s a Suzuki and is solid, it sounds lovely with the standard exhaust (can hear the induction sound when on the power). Perfect bike

Actually, I wish tomorrow I was picking up your bike. Instead it's a black '24 DE. Good lookin' bike but i like the 19" front and your bike sits lower without all the electronics. I'm still elated and I'm going to ride the snot out of it. These really are great bikes. We're lucky to have them.

I changed the pipe on my 650 vstrom and hadnt got it home before regretting it. If you're touring, a quiet pipe is better, imho. If you're heading off road, good luck. Had 2 650s before going over to the dark side. Great bikes.

❤ great motorcycle, I want you to enjoy it and I wish you many happy kilometers 🫡👍🍻

[@mattwilliams7454]

You're never going to say "I'd go for a ride but my bike isn't comfortable ". I don't think you'll regret it.

FINALLY! What a beauty! Congratulations!! 🤗🤗💜💜🙏🏼🙏🏼

The V-strom has gotten slightly bigger. Nah looks good in that colour.

[@cube1cze]

Hi, what are those side wind deflectors you've got there ?

[@roadstrom]

So you've gone from a V-Strom mini van to a V-Strom bus. Nice machine 👍

[@oldbootsontour]

Wow D., what a great looking bike! 👍 It’s a real beast! 🤘 The accessoires look great on the bike. Nice that grey/black color mix. We hope you will have a lot of fun with and many many save rides!!

[@greywolf9292]

Ah Duncan, I'm pleased to see you've remained in the light even although you've chosen a shadowy shade ( can't beat a bit of black). It's a Beast and it sounds quite Beastly even with the standard can. Hope you have many, many, happy safe miles on it and I'll expect to see it in Scotland sometime soon.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Looks great. I believe that you are gonna love it. Take care. Ride safe.

[@althescottishbiker]

I really like the big VStrom, it looks great. Ride safe!

[@scotty_beast_rider]

Love it Duncan... Great choice 👍🏻👍🏻

[@youngeroldie5089]

Looks a nice piece of kit and with that engine fun times ahead I think.

[@BMCMOTOUK]

Cracking machine Dunc, love the colour and the wee touches youve added are cracking!

[@soggybawsmoto]

It's a bonny looking bike. Good health to use it, and safe riding pal

[@randycarter5410]

No way you will regret having a Strom,i love the color of that bike also ,😎😎👍👍

[@blearyview2254]

Cracking looking bike Dunc, good choice. It just takes a wee bit to get used to the weight then you will be riding it just like the 650.

[@simonhaile9710]

Stick with it, I went from a 650 to one. Got a Fuel can on mine, baffle out 👌
