This is my Suzuki V-Strom 650 - the Wee-Strom. Also known as Fred. A great pulling Suzuki V twin engine, the bike pulls away really well. Its a fantastic commuter with its high seat giving a commanding view of the road.

Shown here with Kappa luggage - 46l top box and 44l panniers attached to a Givi monorack. The other farkles on the bike are engine bars ( crash protection ), radiator guards, heated grips, hand guards and centre stand.

View from the other side.

All that luggage can make filterring though traffic very difficult. I usually discard the panniers.

I have a smaller topbox too, though I hardly use it now.
