Craig,

I do a lot of commuting on my '00 ST - from NJ into NYC and back.  19,000
miles on the clock and probably 75-80% is commuting. Only change I've made
(and would highly recommend) is lowering the gearing.  I went from a 19 to a
17 tooth front sprocket.  For city driving - especially if there's a lot of
stop and go traffic, the ST is geared too high, IMO.  You'll be slipping the
clutch all the time.  The lower gearing helps a LOT, and has not affected my
gas mileage.  
Other than that, it works fine for me.  Though the clutch pull is a bit
stiff, you soon get used to it.  (after a few years riding an ST, just be
careful of picking up anything fragile with your left hand!)

Cheers,

Mort
