It cuts a dash on any type of road as I will again demonstrate at the end of this month on one of my pilgrimages back to Blighty. Door to ferry ramp (Dunkerque) is 564mls - that's 9hrs including two fuel stops of approx 15mins (time for a widdle included) using 65% "A" roads and the last "35%" on the froggy toll motorway.
Then I still feel good for the Dover-Derbyshire dash of 215mls as soon as the ramp goes down at Dover (one final fuel stop and widdle required north of London).
My 2001 ST4s is a stonking bike - especially in YELLOW
