Well, I may have gone full circle with my BMW R1200GS. I bought it 18 months ago after having owned an ST for one season. Last fall, I bought a second bike, a 2007 BMW R1200R. This bike is a blast to ride and made me realize I prefer a sportier seating position and a lower center of gravity. For that reason, I am thinking of selling the GS and acquiring a sport-tourer again. I am eying the RT but I wonder whether I should consider the ST or maybe even a GWing. With the R, the touring bike will be to get out of town, quickly and far.
I sold my ST 18 months ago because I didn't like the weaving action of the front wheel, even at low hiway speeds. I know some people thinks this is just imagination but having ridden a GS and now an R, I am absolutely certain the ST was not as planted and didn't have the secure feel of the BMW's. So now, here's my question. Has Honda done anything to the ST to alleviate or correct the situation? I suppose it would be in hiding. So has there been any report that the newer 07 or 08 do not experience such front wheel imbalance?
Any thoughts, feedback would be appreciated.
Regards,
