| ST vs SS
This conversation has got me thinking............
The plan come next spring is to upgrade from my '99 750ss to something else. I had always thought that I'd probably get a 900ss ie, basically because I really like the SS range and have no burning desire to get a Superbike.
However, after reading through the ST zealot enthusiasm here (and the fact that a good ST2 seems to be had for around £3k) I'm considering changing my mind.
Couple of questions:
- Has anyone ridden an SS (an ie mind) and an ST to compare? Specifically I'm interested in the width of the bike. I commute to work every day. The 750ss is really quite narrow and gets me through some pretty small gaps. I always assumed that the ST was a wider proposition and thus perhaps not so good for commuting.
- The ST2 has the 2 valve engine. Does it have a wet or dry clutch?
- I'm going to have to guess that the ST range has a bit more comfort factor than the SS. Although I've got used to the rock solid rear suspension and wrist crippling weight on the SS by now.
- Any ST and Multistrada comparisons? I realise the MS is going to be more expensive than a 2000-2001 SS.
