Help! I think I’m getting old (I‘m 23)

Hey Guys.

A year ago, I bought my dream bike: A Triumph street triple 675. She’s a little hooligan: fast, agile, aggressive, loud and imo gorgeous.

Fast forward one year and 4000 miles later: im still in love with my street triple, but it needs to go. Why?

I noticed that I don’t do day trips that often, but rather use a motorcycle for longer trips and traveling. The suspension, seating position, exposure to wind, and limited capability of bringing luggage make it a not-so-perfect bike for my needs. Also, my girlfriend complained that she sits quite uncomfortable on the rear seat. The Streety is an awesome bike, I just don’t fit its profile (or it doesn’t fit mine).

Therefore, I, a 23year old male, am ready for something usually driven by my father’s generation: an Adventure Bike. Noting special, nothing to brag with. Just a reliable adventure bike to conquer the roads of Europe (and maybe Asia). It’s going to be a Suzuki V Strom 650.

Am I getting old? Maybe. Is the V-Strom less exciting than the Streety? Definitely! Am I going to regret it? I don’t think so.
