New Bike Owner



Hello Everyone,

I just received and rode home my very first new road bike, a green '01 ST.
For the last 10 years I have been riding a couple of '81GPz550's and my most
favorite, a '84 Rz350.  Mmmmm, the smell of two stroke smoke.  Although I do
have a '98 XR400 dirt bike, I really don't know too much about modern bikes,
much less about my ST.  Of course I read all of the magazines and often
travel about looking, but looking and owning are different things.

Please, give me your thoughts:  possible gripes I may have, things to watch
out for, any "if only I had done" statements, whatever, I would appreciate
it.  Also, I got the usual run down on break in (that 3500 rpm thing is going
to kill me, luckily the ride home was 50 miles). Any good advise?

Thanks in advance

Sean Dougherty
