[ST] ST VFR "again"



The last Brit mag. that I read that compared those 4 bikes. The DUC and
Aprilia came in last and the ST edged out the VFR.

ST's will have the hard bags as standard equipment not optional.
Bike magazine keeps rating the ST as "If you have to buy a VFR go ahead, but
the ST is more than a match."

Don

I think the ST more than holds it's own against the VFR. But the Futura and
Ducati ST4s appear to be the current darlings of the press in the
sport-touring (heavy on the sport) class. Personally, I don't think the
Futura has all that much over the ST, and the Duc is much more expensive and
too hard edged.

That said, I agree that the ST could use some freshening up. A fully
adjustable suspension and a few extra ponies at the same (or lower!) weight
would probably help move it back to the head of the class. And include the
hardbags in the base price!
