Greetings,

Yep im new here, just got a 2006 DL1000. She's got just over 16K on the clock.Has Corbin seat, Givi bags, Power Commander. So far very impressed with this bike. First ride being 100 mile return trip home. Been on an 2001 GsXR 750 for laat few years, wanted something for commuting and longer rides. Definatly a good choice, looking foward to picking brains here for help later down the road, Will add pic later, thanks

Welcome! You may not have the same all-out performance, but you will find so many other advantages you will not miss your old bike much. If you're tall you will never look back. The Corbin seat is a step forward for anyone. Sonds like a nice bike!

Im 6'1 and yeah, the bike is suprisingly nimble. Gixxer is still in the stable till sold, but wont get alot of use now. Any grip recommendations? Was running pro grip 695 gels on my old ride, want something similar. The V will spend 99% of her time on the super slab so looking to increase comfort more. Thanks
