| For what its worth my opinion is that the 4s makes mince-meat out of a vfr , which is a bland
mondeo man thing , if ever there was one.
I have had a ST4s for 18 months, done 24,000 miles in 14 months, then buggered my leg running afetr a pigs bladder.
The 4s has never let me down, ie by the side of the road, has been used a commuter all that time,
occasionaly wheeeld into the shed at weekends,
and has had
- three new lcd dispalys under warranty
- ecu , under warranty
- slid down the road on black ice, repaired absolutely fine.
- One smashed headlamp, stone thrown up, gobbled a fair few B'stone 010's,
been round France, and the benelux countries,
mostly at 110 mph , with approx 170-180 tank range, stopped using any oild at approx 8,000 miles, is wired for widder jacket and heated grips , and yes, has a ******* gell battery. When its really cold I connect a spare car battery via some
35 A leads with bullet connectors, wired in situ.
Bloody brilliant., tool. 14 tooth sprocket and decent pads are essential , as Monty says.
Downside ? Servicing costs. But once you have tried one the handling will make most other bikes
seem gahstly. Yes, 996 and 999 pilots luurve their bikes ( at the w/end , or track ) but for everyday use the 4S is hard to beat.
Over & out.
Hey Monty, are you a closet Ulysses member ?  |
