Very impressed with the strom. On the v strom site, it had one reviewer hate it saying it was let down by the engine. He also crapped on about the bicycle handle bars.
Yes the handlebars looked piddly compared to the other two but is a cheap fix and to be honest, I think I would not have noticed if he hadn't drawn attn to it! I thought the console and dash area looked a little budget, not the cluster itself, just the whole assembly. I loved the bike, it is a massive step up from the outgoing.
Then the tiger, it is more of a hoon bike and more like a sports bike than the strom. It made good power but I stalled it about three times! It seemed slightly heavier as well. Overall, it didn't do it for me but I can't put my finger on why.
Then the ktm. WOW! A bmx with a motoX engine!
I could not share this bike with a pillion so it is out for me! I reached behind me as I was riding along and there wasn't much seat left!
It is a smile a mile. The power was phenominal and the suspension soaked up the road better than the other two. The brakes and handling were very similar on all three as far as I could tell, in fact I thought the strom brakes were the nicest.
I will take the girl down for round two which will be two up on the strom and hopefully aprilia. One day!
