I've had both bikes and personally i much prefer the ST4. I know some will say that the ST2 has more low down grunt but to be honest i never noticed it!

If you get one give it at least a couple of weeks to convince yourself that youve made the right decision. They take some getting used to after jap bikes.

ST2's are cheaper to buy and service. Dont worry too much about mileage but make sure it has a current service history and that its not due a big one soon. A 6000 miler can cost over £600 on an ST4.

Dont worry about the clutch noise, as long as it reduces when you pull the lever then they all do that sir!

Oh and get one with the panniers already fitted, doesnt appear to make them worth any more second hand but they cost about £500 if you want them fitted afterwards.
