I have been very happy with the ST, alittle under 30,000 since 07, so it was with a great deal of trepidation that I drove it up to the Cities to turn it over on a trade for the GT1600 which isnt even here yet. I have only owned one non-Honda since I started riding in 1964, ready for a change but couldent talk myself into the GL. I have no intention of deserting the ST-owners forum however. I kind of follow the BMW sites a bit more often as of late, but nothing I have seen so far comes close to this site for all things motorcycle. I will try and post some comparisons but probably wont have the bike until next riding season.
