V-Strom 650?
At the moment I'm riding around on a Ducati Monster 695, it's probably not the best choice for me for doing any sort of distance on. I often find myself getting pins and needles and numb hands after short distances (often less than 50 miles) because of the way I've always got all my weight pushing forwards onto my wrists I'm guessing. I'm currently planning on doing a trip to Spain later this year and and even though I do love my bike for a quick spin on country roads I'm now seriously considering switching it as 3,000 miles of numb hands doesn't sound too appealing.
Can you guys recommend the V-Strom? My other half has just passed and was looking at one and I'm now rather interested myself, it seems to be good value for money and a lot of people recommend them, what do you think? Can you offer any alternatives? Bearing in mind I'd have an '07 Monster 695 with 5k miles on the clock to trade-in and a budget of £1k-2k max on top of that.
Thanks!
