<sob> I want my 748 back!
Frankly I think the chances of me learning to love the ST2 are remote.
I feel like I've swapped a Ferrari for a tractor.
Yes, they're grunty, yes, the riding position is OK. But it's too big, too heavy, too damn crude. The 748 fitted me. This doesn't. It's wide, and a nightmare to get into my back yard: I seem to scrape the damn mirrors nearly every time.
And the lights are the worst I've had since my old 6V TS 125. To be fair, I can't believe they can't be further improved. The ride height has been reduced, and the adjusters tilted up. but more is needed: much more. You know that US site linked to above that do the dual headlight unit? Well I'd be very happy if mine were as good as the "before" ones in their comparison.
