Thought I'd add a few of my company bikes
Don't have any of th first "company " bikes because the belonged to HM Queen But they were BSA B40 1977-79 ( 1965 model) Can-Am 250 1980-1986 ( 1980 model) Armstrong 500. 1986-1991. ( 1986model)

So fast forward to 2010 -2022

V-strom generally gets a pretty good write up, what's your opinion on it?
Personally I think "adventure" bikes are the SUVs of motorcycling but people can spend their money on whatever floats their boat

Being honest I'd have to say it's a decent machine . It's not as pretentious as the expensive marques.everything falls to hand without effort , the gearbox is Suzuki . I'm on it everyday for 10 hours in all weathers and absolutely no fatigue even at my age. Averages 60-65 mpg.
The only bits I don't like are fitted as standard to all bikes now anyway...ABS ..Clutch cut out switch.
We paid less than £7 grand for each bike with hand guards , Suzuki boxes , Scottoiler , Oxford heated grips . They get serviced every 8 thousand miles ( 6 weeks) get new Michelin pilot tyres and genuine Suzuki brakes ( last longer ) .chain and sprocket every other service .( 12 weeks) .
The company now has 20 of them ( 3 in Manchester)
So value for money without a doubt.
