The Bike: Vince the V-Strom

Due to the cost of renting or shipping my bike to the US for 3 months I decided to buy and then resell a bike. It’s a risk but I’m going to give it a shot.

I found a secondhand Suzuki 650 V-Strom at Deland Motorsports in Florida. It was almost new having done 1200miles and is a 2022 model. All I added was a bash plate, hand guards and a GPS cradle and electrics. Although I really like panniers I decided not to spend more money having panniers added. Instead I brought a couple of saddle bags and an extra large kitbag.

Brent from Delandmotorsports gave me the most fantastic service and I can certainly highly recommend them.

Hi!

Two wheels, six continents, zero regrets. I’ve chased horizons across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and parts of Africa — sometimes on a bike, sometimes on foot with a pack and a bad sense of direction. Welcome to the road!

I created this blog for my friends and family to follow my adventures. I am however no author or influencer, my spelling (British) and grammar are not great so enter at your own risk!
