The one with the V-Strom wasn’t love at first sight, on the contrary! The V-Strom is a bike of substance, one of the best in its category, but without some aesthetic tweaks it’s a bit of an ugly duckling.

But I must also say that having worked hundreds of hours on it together with Team Azzurro Rosa, and having created the V-Strom with which Mirco Bettini won the 2024 Lamas Rally, I inevitably fell in love with this bike, which with some intelligent tweaking can really transform into a beautiful swan.
