Hi Patrik,

There are several listers who have many kms on their ST's with no big =
problems.
I too hesitated between the VFR or the ST (shame on me) but am very glad =
I took the right descision and bought an ST.
For a new model it has (exept for the fuel sender) no 'new model =
deseases'.
In the German motormagazine 'Motorrad' of this month there is a 25000 km =
durability test of the ST.
The bike comes out very good but they did not make 25000 km but only =
24000 because ... the bike was stolen in Holland!
What I also find a big advantage over the VFR is the low fuel =
consumption of the ST (especially with the fuel prices in Belgium =
today!).

Ludo, Belgium
Red 99 ST

  Hi,

  I'm currently the owner of a Honda VFR.
  But to be quite honest, I fell in love with the ST at first sight.
  I'm looking for ex-japanese owners who now switched to the
  ST.

  My question : Is it just as durable and reliable as a japanese bike?

  Your honest answers will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

  Ride forever,

  Patrik De Smet=20
