DL1000 Vstorm the bike for me?

I just found this really good writeup on the DL1000 - it sums it up perfectly for me:

Forks I expect? Did the same on the DR....don't really do nothing: least it only cost me $90 eh!!!!

If you're going to grab the 1000 I'd do it soon. I understand the new ones coming through have jumped in price due to the dollar. I think they're jumping from the 13's to 15. That's a few things you can buy with that difference.

I ordered a superbrace for mine this morning ($316 landed in NZ) - All the info I have read on stromtrooper.com points to them being almost a great improvement.

Will report back when I have them and some time under the wheels.

Do you mean for the front forks, or engine bars? I know the crash bars can be a bit of fun to fit - they use at least one engine mount.

I loved my gutless Honda NXR125 with 12hp though, so I'm easily pleased, could only go about 85kph with two people on it though Up to 120kph in the draft of a truck. Still I could take it anywhere, (used it as a courier bike) through parks, downs stairs, jumped it regularly and could get it to pull wheelies. Not stoppies though because of the drum brakes only ever managed one. And could get that thing round corners like you wouldn't believe on the stock rubber. And air cooled, 30km/l, and it took about 1 litre of oil haha. For some reason I just could not crash it no matter how stupid I was on it.

Because of my NXR125 I now want a motard.

Well I'm still saving my pennies for a bigger ride, but I have inherited a Honda NXR 125 and am planning on putting some km's on it over summer where ever I can. Not exactly a speed machine but it never was going to be and seems to be solid as so far.
