I bought a new VTX 1300c in 04, traded it in on a V Strom 1000, sold it and just rode dirt for a while. Then bought an 04 st1300 in Feb. sold that in the latter part of Sept. and took delivery of a red deluxe F6B on the 9th of October. I think I finally found the bike I've been wanting, it does everything I want it to and more. this one is a keeper.
