Re: [ST] Rocket vs. ST vs. Beemer



I've done 8800km on mine (ST05 ABS)  - the longest was a Rotterdam -
Stockholm roundtrip which was 3400km in 5 days (back was done in one
go). I think that the bike is a very good compromise, it is not as comfy
as a GS, and it is not as sporty as a R1/Fireblade.

Regards/Casper
