I put a few hundred kilometers on it yesterday , reaffirming my love for heated gear . I found a few issues I will want to deal with : Buzzing in the bars causing hand numbness , discomfort from the the stock seat ( even after the free seat mod ) , wind management / winglets required , and so on .
The machine is a locomotive on the slab ! 6th gear , cruise control , gobble up the miles .
It seemed very composed on gravel roads , though I actually turned around to avoid a sloppy , muddy road on the stock deathwing tires . Once I get my new Mitas E07 tires mounted , I'll be more confident on sloppy surfaces .
I rode to an annual VStrom Spring meetup , where many riders seemed interested in the S10 . On the next multi day ride , I plan to swap bikes with a few of my Strom buddies for a few hours , to let them see what's up , and get their impressions .
