Thanks Rocker.
Tbh I am still drawn by the practicality of the ST, and the power of the ST4S. It is after all the closest to the VFR it replaces.
Reading all the various problems people are having with the MS hasn't helped my decision making process too much either
So, flakey chrome on 996 rockers, or flakey paint, wobbly brakes, and engine corrosion on the MTS. Hmm. difficult choice
Yeah I know I've painted a bleak picture
I won't bother to bore you all with my reasoning again. Might ask a few more questions though
