Title: Current bike
Post by: SteveO on April 29, 2021, 07:39:50 PM

2015 DL650 XT (in fastest red) almost 6k on the clock.

However, been looking at VTR1000’s (Firestorm) as a second bike.....

I had a VTR for a while.  Very nice motor but watch out for Reg/Rec issues and cam chain tensioner failures . I fitted a pair of manual tensioners  and IIRC a reg/rec from a CG125.   Compared to the DL650 it felt small as if I was a big fat jockey on a pony .... errrr oh! hang on a minute.

Brockett, that looks great!

Been doing a bit of homework and been reading up on the issues.

I’m in no hurry, so will keep looking out for a good’un.

Although, prices are creeping up.
