Default My new sport-touring bike is a...

2003 Suzuki V-strom!!! What a great bike. Picked it up for a really good price and it comes with risers, 3 windshields, a Corbin saddle, and a few other small things.

My first trip will be to take it from Penn Valley, CA to Lawton, OK later on this month! that should be fun.

Here's a pic of the latest edition to my stable:

Sweet! Those are fun bikes.

Congrats on the Suzuki, you sure seem to like them

Are you planning on doing any off-roading on that thing?

NIce bike,good luck. Never saw one in that color scheme- I like it. I've heard great things on the V-strom. I know they have a loyal following. Enjoy the ride.

Just couldn't get away from the TL motor, could ya.

Looks like those would be some comfortable bikes. Congrats on the new purchase.

I'm going to do some off-roading on it. Nothing too crazy. May have to get a DRZ for that! I love Suzuki's, especially if they are asethically challenged

I'm just itching for Suzuki to make the Stratus! I will be first in line to get one of those if they are ever produced.
