Ratchet
I had an ST4 then an ST4s and covered a fair few miles, both superb bikes, miles better than any VFR (and i've had 3 of them) The ST's are great but very underated bikes, not popular with the press. Mine went round Europe, couple of track days, and general day to day use and loved both of them, don't think you would be disapointed.
I got the suspension set up, needs more ride height, 14 tooth gearbox sprocket, higher screen, Sargent seat and put open pipes on for big increase in midrange power/torque, plus a bit more on top end and that proper sound
Only problem that springs to mind was wrapped front discs in just under 20,000 miles on the 4s.
