Hello
I currently own a scrambler 800 but am looking to buy a Strada.
I will be popping on here for advice and reviews.
In particular if there are any hyperstrada owners in Scotland, could the say hello.
 
Still looking for a hyper. Few and far between.
With the current lock down the search might drag on.
Looking for a low model ideally. Hoping to tour the North Coast 500 this summer.
 
Hello, I'm from mexico I have a 939 HS , I'm 5,6 and no problem reaching the floor. Great bike, 34,000 kms , waiting for this lock down to end for the desmo service. 3 years since I bought it and only oil changes.
Great bike.

Hi Fizban,

Just be aware that the first few years had several inbuilt problems that will cost extra to put right. These include a very grabby clutch, a suspect starter motor and variably-poor fuelling. My 2013 821 had all these, but it was and is a fascinating bike to ride with amazing poke in all gears: far more than you'd expect. I run mine on touring mode and the low-speed manners are exemplary, but crack it a little more and you get a kick in the backside, regardless of the gear you are in.

Someone else here may advise you on the years to go for. I think 2016 on, but I may be wrong. All I'm saying is beware of the cheapest bike you see, even if it looks tidy!

Nick, in Norfolk
