Re: [ST] '05 ST Heat

[Erik Miner <eeminer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brett: The heat issue was why I bought a BMW K1200S. I REALLY wanted 
to like the ST and especially with ABS.  But I was coming off a 
mistake in the Honda ST1300 which also throws big heat and didn't 
want to go from the frying pan to the fire. It really makes one 
wonder if the manufacturers even test in hot conditions.
