Hey Robson. Some beautifull pix you have there. Seems that Brasil have as much too offer as here in RSA.

Hi there Hunday, so glad to see there is some other XT's that takes a nap in the soft grass also...mine took a nap not so long ago in a wetland just outside Pretoria. I also found a nice soft wet spot a few metres from there.
Soem nice pics of our RSA roads. Prefer off the road myself, and variety is the spice of life, and we have variety here in SA. Sand, mud, red mud (the fearsome ones), water, grass, rocks, mountains, hard dirt etc etc etc. GB |

Brazil is a beautifull country, I live in a small city far away from the big ones. Here is calm, quiet, with a lot of places to visit. If you come here one day contact me. :024: Tomorrow I'll do another short trip, as I can I'll post the pics. Bye, |
V-Strom
Yah, I test road a V-Strom 1000, I almost signed the bottom line when my son offered me his XT. The Strom 1000 is a much heaver bike, got loads more grunt as you would expect, but handles similarly to the XT in my opinion, specially around town and on the highway, but never got to take it off road.
I felt it would do quite well off road if you had the muscle to pull it out of a sticky situation because of it's weight. I have a couple of friends with Strom 1000's, my XT keeps up with them in all situations, even 2 up, but again we haven't been off road together yet. Depends what you want it for, if you want to do some serious on and off road travelling ..go the V-Strom 1000, the big twin will handle it more comfortably than the XT. |

I think thats only true if your living in a country thats flat and you can get a bit of speed going when your off roading. Over here in the UK a vstrom would hardly ever stray from the tarmac. and he they do its at tickover and on the easier of the off roading sections. |
