Rental Bike from my dealer ruined my Rebel 500

I love my Rebel 500. 11.000 km or roughly 7.000 miles since I bought it in April of this year. Been riding it like crazy. Then my tires wore out and I had to get new ones.

My dealer gave me a Suzuki 1050 V-Strom... I put about 400 kms on that thing in a day (I am on vacation). I fucking loved the V-Strom. The tires grip the asphalt its unbelievable. The suspension is INSANE.

I can corner this thing even though the roads suck ass. This baby absorbs potholes like they dont exsit where my D404 on my Rebel screamed for mercy everytime I hit a bit of paint on the road ...
