Switching riding styles

Particle Man · 02-21-2011, 08:06 AM

I've gone from a beaten up old Shadow to a CBR to the SV. I ride my current style of bike because the power band is more usable and with the mods to the bars it's more of an upright bike (more like the Standard it's supposed to be).

I plan on eventually changing platforms again to something like an F650GS (if I get rid of the SV) or a G650GS (if I keep the SV). I almost pulled the trigger on a Wee Strom but the price tag changed at the last minute. The reasons for the move are exactly what was stated here by Trip and the others who have dual sport bikes.
