Re: Kwacky's 675 Street Triple

2017 Versys 650 Grand Tourer - ongoing review

New bike, new thread. I should be picking it up on Wednesday, all being well. No plans as yet to change what's on there, I'm sure I'll think of stuff when I start using it. Paint protection at the front to deal with stone chips, maybe a rad guard is it's ...

Double demo day

... so you find yourself tittering inside your lid as you realise you've just taken the piss with a silly overtake on the approach to a bend.
