    Sweet, saw on your trademe advert the reference to sports tourers and thought you might be flagging gravel

    Nah... couldn't face that. Even when I had the 700 Magna I took it on gravel. The handling was okay apart from the shocks...

    Really looking forward to picking up the VStrom on Sunday and coming back up North through SH16 - maybe even find some gravel out that way to try it on.
