Have been looking for a touring bike,so i got a used 650 v-strom.

Using my cycle touring camping gear

I understand it may be a bit fugly,but it's nice to ride.
All i have to do is ride it from Perth to the blue mountains(4500kms)
happy days
the fet

I kow very little about engined bikes , but I that looks very purposeful!

My old man has a 1000cc Vstrom and he's been very happy with it – at least until he fell off it in a corner a few weeks back!

Good touring bike though.

it may be a bit fugly,

Maybe, but it's a V Twin so it's off to a good start.
Never ridden one, but all the reviews I've seen have been good.

Did see one of these in a sale at a dealer

A faired and slightly larger Speed Triple, mmmmm tempted

now that looks freaking gorgeous, almost enough to tempt me back into motorbikes.
