sorry for posting in wrong place!
 

I see somebodys moved this thread so i just wanted to apologise for starting this thread in the wrong place, :oops2:
Mollydog have you had any problems or found any weak spots with the dl 650 in your time with the bike?
p.s. i cant believe how much gas prices have changed in the USA since i was there a few years ago!

No need to apologize - this forum is new and didn't exist when you made the post!
:D

I've ridden the DL650 and liked it.

Heading through scandinavia this year and back down through europe, got a month off work which i try and get every year for a trip so may see you for a beer somewhere on the road.

v-strom's are great bikes, a very well rounded bike. Just wish it was not such a behemoth.

got my dl!
 

Well folks i done it, i bought a dl 650, it came into the shop a few weeks ago as a trade in, its light blue, k6 model, 2600 miles, rides lovely and i got it for a steal:thumbup1:
I love how comfy it is and how easy it is to handle in tight spaces at low speed, and it will sit at 90 mph all day on the motorway.
Im taking it to the ace cafe in London in a few weeks with a friend who has a new tiger, and shortly after that im taking it home for a weekend to Ireland, sort of a dry run for my European trip next summer!

Petrol
 

Hi,

Talking of fuel prices I see the Aussies are not saying owt, i was there in Dec 06 to Mar 07 and their fuel prices were a
$1.08 a litre here in Brighton-le-sands and when it went up to a $1.10 to a $1.12 (exchange rate at $2.38 to the £1 then) there was an out cry, but it soon went down again, you all should be glad you can smoke around in your V8's, i wish i could afford to run one here in Blighty, Global Warming (B*****ks) its just a goverment excuse to sting the Hard working people an rob them of their hard earned cash. Now i can get off my soap box (thats better).
oops just get on again,

"Do your trips B4 big bro says you cant do that unless you have a good reason"

Roi. n Bron.

DL wins out
 

Congratulations Adrian, :thumbup1:
Back in April, it sounded like you were going in that direction; I guess you will up on the Suzuki technical threads now - there's a lot of good/useful comment in there already about the DL and it is all very positive.

Safe riding,

Dave
