Anyone here ever owned one. I'd be interested in your opinions.

I swapped my Varadero for a Vstrom. The Vstrom is smaller and lighter, but not nearly as good as the Varadero. The Vstrom is meant to be faster, but a Varadero will always be quicker on A roads since it handles so much better. The Honda is also better finished and more comfortable.

Go Multistrada - you know you want to!

The Yamaha TDM 900 is supposed to be very good too.

Sorry know very little about the Vstrom - oops!

Can't afford a Muttleystrada I'm afraid.

The reason I chose the strom was because I was looking for a trade-in and the shop where my triumph gets fettled had a lovely 02 strom with loads of extars on it, but they wanted the bird PLUS 1400 quid , so on second thoughts I think I'll just get a set of bar raisers for the bird.......

I had a TDM - top bike.... until I binned it

Seriously tho Dave, I'd have a TDM over a VStrom any day.

Shame I don't like the Tedium or the Verydullo, as I've already got two tigers and they're a better bike.
