Hi Folks
So the first year of ST ownership has come and gone, thought id share a few thoughts on the bike etc....Ive ridden 13.5k(UK miles) most of these on the commute to work.
Good points first.......mpg, very good at filtering through traffic, smooth engine, good size panniers, no chain to replace, easy to work on.
Bad points............ The seat is not as good as it looks!, bit of a sail in windy conditions, gray plastic a bit naff.
Ive done all the servicing and repairs myself which is one of the things I like about the bike, only problems have been a seized shocker bolt and some corrosion that ive sorted out.
Still to do jobs are change the front springs and service the forks, check the valve clearances again.
Im very happy with the bike overall, it suits me well and I see me having it for a good length of time, don't get me wrong its not perfect but then neither am I!!.
Im a convert to all things ST!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
Chris
