Hi there.
This is the famous 'Twisting Throttle' VStrom that used to belong to Mike Hyde.
He rode this bike around Australia and the United States. Mike sadly left us a couple of years ago but his legacy lives on.
I have the bike, and have read his books, both witty and full of valuable information about Adventure riding....
Mike was a fantastic bloke!
was lucky to buy Mikes Vstrom a few years ago and wish to pass this on.
I have only ridden it back from the South Island and done a couple of short rides.
It is time to move it on and I do not want a huge amount for it, but as you can see there is a few spares and some fantastic luggage, REALLY fantastic luggage!! :woohoo:
I have included the original link for the bike and will be shortly listing this on Trade me.
Mike was a fantastic character and this bike has had just the one owner - Mike, then myself.
I have done nothing to it other than purchased a new Motobatt, that's it!
The warrant and reg are on hold and if it gets a good offer I will happily put three months on it for the new owner.
Please feel free to PM me or call anytime 0272672340. The bike is located in Te Aroha
Any offers will be considered. Ready to ride and good for thousands of kilometres more.
This is the original ink and everything is just about the same as it was when I bought it.
There is some great information on here.....obviously the phone number and uplift is a different person and location.
This is from mike's website details for the bike.
