Re: [St] '08 vs 2000 Sprint ST



I totally agree. Had the same filling short after I bought mine. Tubular bars new saddle and triumph touring screen
is the way to go.

Hey Derek....

Having had the same 'crisis of faith', I finally resolved on this solution.
First.  $1000 is far less than $12,000 for an ST1300 or FJR1300.  Second,
you don't put enough annual miles to warrant that kind of bike.  Third, a
new seat and bar risers, and maybe a different windscreen will make your
trusted bike exactly what you want.  (See the $1000 < $12,000 statement
above).

Just my 2 cents...

After 2k miles on my 2000 ST last week (which may not be alot for some of
you, but I only average 10k a year on two wheels), I realized that I want a
<...
or bite the bullet, cough up the money, and get a bike I think I will be
pleased with for years to come.

P.S.  If I keep my current ride,  it will need between $500 and $1,000 in
maintenance and replacement parts.  Should I put this money into a new bike
and sell this one before it depreciates any more, or should I just keep what
I have.
