Re: [ST] trade ST for Trophy?

["Joe Zaccaria" <jzaccaria@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I own an ST but I have ridden a Trophy that is owned by a friend in
Illinois.  If most of your riding is two-up you will probably find the
additional mass and enourmous torque of the 1200 to be a much better fit.

Ride one and see for yourself though.  It is a much heavier and less sporty
beast but pleasant to ride and in my estimation bullet proof.
