Seems a long time coming, but worth the wait. By the time I actually got to ride it I was chilled to the bone, so rode straight home had a coffee, put some more layers on and went for a short ride again. First impressions are WOW. I have ridden bikes for 50years, but not big bikes, my 650 Transalp was the biggest I had owned and had only ridden briefly a Suzuki GT750 35/40 years ago. So the power seems enormous, but everything seems so light and precise. Running in keeps the top speed down to 70mph. Not much time today for a ride as I have no toilet or sink in the main bathroom.

Looks brill Ben, Proper touring machine is that rascal. Cross continents in a day nae probs.
Looks similar to my Tiger sport but I prefer your lower end can, means ya get a full size pannier both sides instead of one & a half like mine.
What happend to the Transalp, did ya trade it or get sentimental?

Hi Ben,
that's were the real run starts, by adding the little farkles, that make the bike your very own.
Enjoy.

Giant topbox fitted Givi Trecker 52litres. £233 for the box and the v-strom specific plate from Italy. If bought in the UK would have been about £300.

Hi Ben,
I could almost use that top-box to sleep in!

Nice. A coworker just got a new 2014 V-strom 1000. Looks like quite a nice bike. His didn't come with any sort of bash plate and the engine (oil filter, in particular) looks really exposed. Looks like yours came with engine guards and a bash plate. What's the story on those?
