I got an ST2 3 1/2 years ago when I was 42 - midlife crisis thing, had 18 years off of bikes and the last one I owned before that was a BSA 250 C15. I was so excited. A few months later I traded up to an ST4s. BIG grins again and for the next 10k miles. Then a year later I got the 749s and been riding that for over 2 years now. STILL grinning. It doesn't end.
In fact ... I had put it away for the winter but I think I might have to exhume it for the trip to the pub on Tuesday!
