I had my Vstrom 650 for sale but this evening she sold. I rode her to her new owners house and said farewell, I hope I don't regret that soon... It would be so nice to be able to hang on to all of our bikes wouldn't it.
Anyway.. I now have some more pennies in the bank and a bike shaped space has opened up in the garage, time for some used bike shopping I think.

Re: Bike now sold
So now I've got brief period where I can actually swing a cat in garage again... catching them in the first place is the hard part, they seem to know what I'm up to..

Re: Bike now sold
Of all the bikes I've rode, the Vstrom 650 is probably one of the most usable packages out there; in my humble opinion.
Let's hope the new one is as good.

Re: Bike now sold
Wouldn't it just... it pains me to think what they'd be worth now compared with what I sold them on for back in the day... Fizzy, GT250, Z650, GS1000S, Harris Magnum II amongst others. But, I didn't have the money to buy the next one each time without selling the one I had....Jug_Inspector wrote: ↑Jul 25th, '18, 23:40 It would be so nice to be able to hang on to all of our bikes wouldn't it.

Re: Bike now sold
Yep, that's the truth...
I didn't have the money to upgrade until next year but a favourable outcome to a pending roof repair suddenly free'd up a chunk of money that had been put aside. So that, and the money from the bike sale, put me at where I needed to be to get the bike I'd had my eye on... so I decided to do the smart thing and upgrade now rather than doing something stupid, like waste it on paying down a mortgage a little.
I am gonna miss that little strom though, but I haven't got the new one yet, and tbh, we don't really miss our old girlfriends once the new one appears.
