Re: [ST] Turbulence [was: ZG DB & ST and Stock screen comparison pictures]



Have ZG bubble screen. The ST does feel very unstable with crosswinds.
Recently rode in stiff wind and had to drastically reduce speed near traffic
to maintain steady line. Had Honda ST1100 and the Honda was very stable in
cross winds...maybe the Honda's weight, maybe the windscreen. Not sure...but
I will be cautious with the Triumph in wind.
