Re: [ST] Used ST or RS

["Craig Moddle" <sailnorth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Definitely easier to find an ST than an RS out here.
I had originally been thinking ST, but have been thinking more of the RS
because it'll be primarily a commuting machine with occasional forays up the
highway. Which I understand the RS may be better suited to.
I have taken a short test drive on a used ST, and that's when I fell in
love, both with the Sprint and with the triple.

How're you folks finding the ST for commuting and general around town use?

cheers,
jcm

been riding in all temps and climes. The ST is ROCK SOLID. No issues witt it
at all. Starts when I push the button, goes like hell when I twist the
throttle, stops like all get-out when I hit the brakes. The bike is a
genuine VFR killer! I have 28.8 K miles on the clock and am completely
satisfied.
> I recommend that you purchase an ST versus an RS because of the larger,
better protection of the ST bodywork. When it gets cool to cold or rainy,
you'll want the larger fairing. Besides, the single sided swingarm of the ST
is trick, and aids in the easy removal of the rear wheel and adjustment of
the chain is a snap!
