My buddy has that GS next to yours and he loves it. The VStrom looks nice but that bike in front of it….. hmmm mmm mmm so sexy.
I also saw that perfectly fine 22 Hayabusa sitting across.
Rode the '14 DL1000 V Strom for last couple years (10k mi). A joy to ride, absolute joy to work on. Shinko 705's, and one tooth down at front, perfect complement to the Gen 2 as the Strom is more suited to ADV, naturally. I sold the bike last November only because I'm not skilled enough to single-track on it, (meaning not young enough to pick up its 500lbs more than twice/day in dirt ... if you're not crashing you're not improving). I'd own another one of these in a heartbeat because of the legendary reliability, low-end grunt, etc. One of the ugliest bikes I've ever owned but drew more attention (here in SoCal) than the Busa did, oddly.
Out on the Strom today, really enjoying everything about it, great machine!
248 miles today in central Florida, very sunny and hot. Had a great time!
That old duck is pristine.....
I suppose your winter will soon be on it's way....
Of course it's nothing like our winter though.....

It’s immaculate in so many ways.
It is on what we call, club registration - cheaper, but only limited amount of times it’s allowed out per year.
It will be here soon… although it has been very below avg summer and inconsistent weather. Terrible actually..
they are telling us it should be a dry winter… but I’ve given up believing in what they say these days… lol
We have something similar here but we have the choice to register them as "historical vehicles" or as regular vehicles....with historical vehicles you can only go to events or drive/ride limited kms per year which sounds similar to your club registration.
Most people just register as regular vehicles.
Weather is hit and miss...only politicians and weather people can both be wrong most of the time yet still be employed...
A short ride around town then a trickle charge on my aging Scorpion LifePo4
This Mich Road 5 GT has 8.8k mi on it, including 2 track days last year. Woohoo!! Looking at some Pirellis pretty soon

Up to Daytona for a bit today on the Busa, went yesterday super early on the Road Glide to try and get some Ohlins installed and after a good 30-40min sales pitch and question and answer session, I was ready to pull the trigger… went and got my bike and hand him the keys and he says “ok we will be installing the silver shocks” ummmm nah I’m good. I am about to drop a grand on something you sold that you DONT have and you want me to settle. What a waste of time. Lol
I rode a little over 200 miles today, my new yoshi slip ons sounded terrific under acceleration and when sitting at a red light and barely cracking the throttle, got a few comments on how they look and sound. Great inside right ankle warmer! Didn’t expect that but I got used to It. Left home at 8:30 am and returned home around 4p. Great ride, got very sleepy at one point so pulled over at a store and met some other bikers, drank a green tea and rode on, I carry two green teas with me on every ride, great day on my Busa.
Even though there are 5 foot snowbanks still, I saw a guy out on his HD today going around the block a few times...
I was out for a walk and as he rode by I could see the swirl of dust and salt in the air behind him....
There's no way I'd take my bike out around here yet...

Froze my a$$ off yesterday while riding in Southern Maryland. Snivel gear was no match for the cross winds. Hahaha
