Before I bouhgt my ST I new I wanted a sport tourer -
comfort and performance.
EVERY review I read put the VFR ahead of the ST, and I
was torn...then I realized that Hondas are like
@$$holes - everyone has one (well, almost). I knew
from the reviews that the bikes were similar enough
that little (yeah right) 'ol me wasnt going to notice
too much of a difference...so the fact that I didnt
know anyone who owns a Triumph put me over the edge
and I'm glad it did.
I used to want a Harley, and I still want a U.S. built
cruiser, but I'm leaning toward an Indian because of
the same reason.
Although, I might go for the Bonnevile America, but I
want to hear more about it first.
