Re: [ST] In case anyone cares :-)

Matt the ergos are very ST like, bars are low but not bad, kind of 
like an ST without risers. Leg room is OK a bit tight but it's not a 
touring bike, I can go a hour and a half before I need a strech and I 
have bad knees. If you find the ST's leg room ok then you'll be ok on 
a S. Wind protection is fine , no buffeting and holds you up at 
speed. The ST1300 is a Goldwing compared to the S in most ways, 
bigger, slower, heavier. Not a bad thing if you want a bike that's to 
the far end of the touring end of the sport touring range. For me the 
real deal breaker and the main reason I sold the ST1300 was HEAT I 
found the bike un-rideable in temps over 80. As for the S I'd suggest 
a test ride, most BMW dealers encourge it.  But be prepared to lust 
after one if you do!
