I bought an ST4S in December and even though weather has kept me off the road more than I want, I have still enjoyed it for the 850 or so km I have ridden it. Good low end torque, wonderful supsension (better than ST3) and a pleasure to ride in various modes. Just rode my first pillion the other night and she was impressed...wants more. She liked the sound, like the feel of stability, like the acceleration (only shifting at 6000 rpm for first 1000 km), liked the seat. I live in UJM land, but I have had at least 15 people comment on the looks. Rode an ST3 before buying my 4 and I liked the engine feel, perhaps more tractor light. Technically, the 3 valver sounds pretty interesting as a sports tourer. Probably a good buy and good fun in so many ways, including joining groups like the DSC.

The only thing that worries me about the ST3, is the lack of adjustable suspension on the forks. (Mad dog bianchi mentions it above). I dont really want or need the ST4s, and am sold on the 3 valve motor - so will I regret it ?

The St3 seems to have a similar amount of torque to the ST4, but obviously less power...

I presume the forks could always be swopped for ST4S items, but has anyone done that ?

Do any ST2 owners find the suspension a limiting factor ? (I'd ask about St3 owners but guess there arent many out there).

Cheers

RBW <-- Skoda driver, so can't be a toff.
