This morning I've mainly been riding this . . .
Nice and tight demo machine with less than 70 miles on the clock when I got hold of the key
. To my un-trained eye the black one looks better in a very subtle way when compared to the blue one they had in the showroom - blue wheels are far to SHOUTY for my liking, and having seen piccies of the red & white ones, that would be my colour of choice
Even being as tight as it is, that little 700cc twin packs some grunt, even from 2k revs in top
. One silly little niggle, and it is silly and little - why have the menu select botton on the RH switch cluster? Yer non throttle hand has little enough to do when riding, so why not have it located on the LH side!
1st impresion - I could live with one of these in the garage . . . if I didn't already have a very, very similar machine already roosting there in the form of the F800GS.
Got a half decent offer for the Strom against a new red & white one . . . of which the precise figure of
NONE are available from the factory at the moment
Glad I've ridden one, but I'll not be shelling out for one in the near future
.
Just my mutterings
