V Strom DL1050....

[timeandtide]

I’ve only bought one bike this year !
SO FAR!!!

 

[GADGET]

So there are new '22 model 1050 XTs for £9,995 - you can't buy a 1250GS used for that money - what should
I know before taking the plunge ?

SERVICE ACTIVATED WARRANTY

After your 3-year standard warranty ends, we’ll give you a new Service Activated Warranty that covers you through to your next service every time you have a qualifying service with us – until your bike is 7-years old or you reach 70,000 miles.

But you probably won't need it

Nothing really. As I have previously said, the rear shock is soft, but might suit you. The spokes will corrode (I have the basic with cast wheels - much better). The electronics package is impressive and now come with seven years warranty so long as you keep it serviced at Suzuki (but they don't go wrong anyway).

does the 2020 XT come with tubed or tubeless tyres?

If it has the 19”/17” wheels, then yes, it is tubeless, it is the 21” front that needs a tube although there are companies out there who can make it tubeless.

OK, Cheers. I wonder if the XT be specced with cast wheels or the non xt speced with the XT gizmos...
