New guy with 1996 K11LT
« on: October 18, 2016, 06:59:15 PM »
Nice forum! I've been riding V-Strom 650's for 7 years - have been doing cross-country trip each year for the last several years, so I have been thinking maybe something a little smoother with better wind protection for those trips.....and then a buddy offered me this nice K11LT. So I did a fly and ride - the ride being 2 days/600 miles. That's a great way to get to know your new bike! Pretty cool bike - it is in great shape - even has all the liners for the luggage and came with a nice tank bag. This bike gives lot's of confidence and comfort on the highway. Shifts great up and down. The only nit I have is the rear shock is not very effective. The amount of technology on this bike is pretty amazing. One of the best bargains ever!

+1 on a new rear shock. Amazing how it will tighten up the whole bike handling. :euro
