As Eric says, you made the mistake of going for a test ride -- now
you're hooked and you *have* to buy the ST. Welcome to the club!

I've done day-long (8-10 hour) rides with very minimal leg cramping, but
I'm only 5'10". Generally, my butt is in worse shape than my legs at the
end of the day, but standing up on the pegs for a few seconds helps both
areas a lot.

Yep, most helmets; my Arai Quantum/e (medium) fits fine.
