RE: [ST] Sport tourer reviews

Yup, it was the 'S' model I was talking about.

The thing that gets me is that you never hear of people putting the ST4 in
the list of possibles.  Not that I'd swap my Trumpy for the Duc, but it's
got to be a good bike and I've always wondered why it never rates a mention.

The bike referred to is the ST4-S which is new this year and includes the
996 motor.

I'd still take the Sprint. Now if I was younger and wealthier, I would
welcome a 996 into my stable.
