so how did the AT perform against the vstrom
interested..............
And that is the honest truth your honour..
Been stoked with the little AT. Compared to the Dl1000, obviously its a 11/12 year older bike, so comfort etc is a little different as is overall suspension handling etc. However, I have had more of a grin since I starting riding the AT compared to the strom. To be fair, the tyres on the strom (battlewings) were more road orientated and its performance off road was probably limited due to those, but the strom is quite top heavy and still a very big bike to push around. For two up touring with all the luggage it was hard to beat tho, just loved it for that. I pick up my new custom seat for the AT (shameless plug for McDonalds (www.trimit.co.nz)) today so hopefully will be as comfortable or better than the strom. Off road the AT really comes into play and cant wait to get out and about again to put it thru its paces. Besides, having an older bike I dont feel so careful about dropping it or getting it dirty compared to a 'new' bike!
