Anissa with Anna, My 2007 Suzuki V-Strom

by Anissa
(Hobart, Tasmania, Australia)

My bike is a V-Strom 650 (named Anna), a dual purpose bike. I use her to get to work every day and for rides with my friends on the weekends. Since we have quite a few gravel roads here in Tasmania, the versatile Strom is perfect.

It was like coming home when I first sat on her only a few month back and I love my bike and the freedom it gives me. I have added a lot of extras (engine guard, crash bars, bark busters, heated grips, Givi luggage system, Bagster tank bra & bag and headlight protectors).

I hope to do some touring in the long term and start to learn to do the servicing on my bike and get a basic understanding of how it all works together (trouble shooting).
