Greeting from Ipswich!

Hi all,

Sold my VStrom 650 last year (as I wasn't touring anymore, and a change of jobs saw my commute go from 130 mile round trip to 6 miles) and bought a Burgman 125. A year on, the commute has changed again and the 125 isn't quite up to it. Also, I have the touring itch again!

So a few weeks ago I traded up to a Burgman 650. Loving the extra power, legroom and new toys. I'd thought about getting another Strom, but the moment I sat on a 650 Burgman and *stretched* my legs fully out, I was sold. Long touring days on the Strom was a killer for my old knees :)

Welcome scep

I was Ipswich way yesterday at Lings getting my X-ADV serviced.

They had a glee 650 with all the farkles fitted which caught my eye but as you state you can't beat the leg stretch of the burgman

I actually got my burgman from that Lings -- Orwells (Suzuki) had no used models, and couldn't quite stretch to 9 grand new :)
