After so many years without a bike it was time to ride again.

I had short listed several bikes none of which were ctotch rockets since my time on those are well past I reckon. I went to see what Hinckley had to offer in Triumphs but the local dealership did not have the new Tigers yet.

Yamaha had a much raved about MT-09 Tracer but again not available locally.

So the last choice on the table was the new 2015 Versys 650. A basic bike that can do just about anything and go anywhere - stock bog standard basic no frills vanilla flavour. Right, I'll have one please and I am so very happy with that decision.
