Re: [ST] new 06

Have you ridden them both??  I have ( not the clutchless version 
)  Not much comparison.. only area Yamaha is better is in the 
$$  department. And clutchless ?? Please...I wasn't talking about 
practical bikes just what is in my opinion a logical replacement for 
a pre 05 Sprint...  If I want practical I'd buy a scooter.. or for 
long distance touring a wing, or for hard core sport riding an MV 
Augusta.. My point was for an all round awesome sport touring bike 
the S is almost untouchable..
