Greetings, Southern Ontario

I was excited to see that I could complete my registration this morning, anything motorcycle related right now will help me get through the rest of this winter! Last Monday I traded my V-Strom in on a new Vaquero, no pics it's still crated, been watching lots of YouTube and the Vaquero gets a lot of favorable reviews and I got hooked. It's exactly equipped the way I want, cruise and ABS being very important, the radio will be nice! Just right not too much like so many bikes out there now. See you around here and maybe even better out on the road!

Believe it or not I bought it at Rockland Wheels just east of Ottawa, about an 8 hour trip one way from LaSalle! I have dealt there before, great people there and they have several 2018 Vaqueros so I thought I would give it a shot. They gave me what I needed for my V-Strom, the rest is history.

Welcome to the show from Alabama, U.S.of A. Comgrads on the new bike. Gonna be in the high 50's here tomorrow so I plan on some riding time. Maybe you'll get to try out the bike before long.

That place always has a good price. You can save a couple of thousand dollars buying there if you are willing to drive all that way.

Thank You all for the greetings! redjay, I think they buy big quantities at a time and pass the savings on to customers, I have family in Ottawa so not a big deal to go there for me, hopefully pick the Vaquero up in March. I think they are pretty busy with sleds right now.

Welcome! I'm a new Vaq owner myself (2011) and I debating on buying at Rockland just because they had inventory and wicked pricing. Seem like great people to deal with. We went back and forth a few times over stuff, and they were happy to answer my questions/concerns...

Now.. bring on the good weather! .. Lol
