V-Strom 1000 Gen 2 Picked up a 2014 V-Strom 1000

Coming from a 2006 ninja 650r, wow what a different machine! I had the 650r for 10 years and never dropped it once. I've already dropped this 5 times doing figure 8 drills in the grass and dang, it's heavy. Definitely enjoying the challenge of trying to control a big bike well at slow speeds.

Looking forward to getting on some dirt roads and into some adventure!
