[ST] Re: ST vs VFR

[mfay@xxxxxxxxx (Martin Fay)]

     Surprisiongly (NOT!) there have been very few posts listing the 
     strengths of the VFR over the ST.
     
     I tried both and for my riding style the VFR had sportier suspension 
     and adjustable handlebars.
     
     The ST has better brakes, lots more torque and cleaner power delivery 
     (FI mapping).
     
     The hard luggage is only a plus if you have a use for it but is a big 
     plus if you do.
     
     On the subjective stuff I think the ST looks better and the VFR sounds 
     better.
     
     On almost everything else they are very evenly matched. Comfort, 
     finish, economy and reliability are very close between the two.
     
     On balance, it's is easier and cheaper to address the shortcoming of 
     the STs' forks that to delink the VFRs' brakes and get more from the 
     motor but both are wonderful bikes.
