R.I.P - 2015/05/23
I have been waiting to post this for about a month. I sold my ST yesterday and now I thought it is time to post this. I bought a 2013 BMW GS 1200 last month. I am still trying to get used to it. The ST was getting too heavy as I age, but it will be missed a great deal. The GS is much lighter, has cruise control, handles much easier, and is surprisingly fast. The fly by wire throttle is really sensitive. The wind protection is lacking, but a bigger windscreen will help there. I hope to find some dirt roads around home to practice on. I haven't ridden on dirt in 35 years. The bells and whistles on the GS are amazing. I am playing with throttle and suspension options to see which setting works best for me in any particular situation. I put BMW vario cases on it and Altrider engine guards. Now that I have sold the ST I can put some light fore and aft and order a bigger windscreen.
