2012 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom ABS known by all as "the Wee Strom"
I've had this bike for a year now and have over 10,000k on the clock and can honestly say I have enjoyed every mile. Acknowledged as the best budget all-rounder, the "poor mans GS", it is the perfect choice for motorcycling in Canada allowing mild off-road adventures even for dirt virgins like me.
Like every other rider I enjoy personalising my ride and at this point the following aftermarket accessories have been added: Givi Airflow screen, Givi Engine Bars, Givi SideRack, Kappa Panniers, OEM Handguards, Oxford heated grips, Givi TankBag, 12v power outlet, OEM Engine cowl and various mounts for camera's, gps etc.Further additions and changes will be made soon for the Alaska trip....OEM cowl will be replaced with Givi Oil Carter (Bash plate) for stronger underbelly protection against rocks and the addition of a top case and backrest for Wifey
By the time June comes around the original tires will be done so a nice new pair of Heidenau Scouts will be installed and ready for the rigours of the Alaskan Highway which is well known for shredding rubber.
