Hello all,
I'm toying with the idea of unloading my vfr800, and am tempted by an ST4S.
I'm after a few opinions from you people though, who might have also transferred from a vfr, or ridden both.
I should add that this is to be used mainly for touring 2 up, as I have a 996 for fun already
So, onto the questions:
1) performance, compared to the vfr, other tourers, or the 996.
2) ground clearance - will I be able to crank it over a decent way without grounding out ?
3) I have read the ST2 headlight was cr@p. How good/bad is the ST4S light ?
4) Luggage. What are they like with the hard luggage fitted (e.g. light front end at speed) ?
5) how many miles can you get to a tank of fuel when riding enthusiastically ?
6) how comfortable is the seat for long trips ? (we do a lot of 10+ day europe trips, so this is important)
7) reliability.... Are there known issues to keep an eye on ?
8) Abs or not abs ?
9) Anyone tried the ST3 and know how that compares ?
Sorry for so many questions. I'm just trying to get primed with all the right questions before I head for the dealers.
Thanks all,
John.
pss, it'll probably be a red one
