qirky carbs? Are you sure this is a Sprint ST? They are fuel injected and
the Sprints' FI system has been widely recognized as the best put on a bike.

The pro's I'd agree with.

The rest of the cons, I'm split on. I don't find the bike that top heavy
unless I compare it to something like my KLX. But for a sport touring bike
it's about what I'd expect.

Poor engineering? Maybe poor quality control, I don't know if that's the
same thing. Spotty dealer service, well that comes with owning something
that is unique. If you want something with great service, expect to be
riding the same thing as everyone else.

Horrible resale? Well that's the penaltly for being an idiot and not
recognizing a great bike when you're riding one.
