Hello All!
I don't post too much here but I do read the forum frequently. So I'm in the market for my next bike and am seriously considering an ST. Now keep in mind I live in the Phoenix metro area so one of my concerns is heat. In the past 8 years since I've lived here in Phoenix I've owned three bikes, a Harley Road King and two BMW R1200RT's. The Road King, while nice I would never go back too or any Harley for that matter. The heat that came off of that thing was brutal. The BMW's were great bikes but I can't justify spending that kind of money again. I'm looking for something to get around town on and take weekend trips.
The ST1300's hold there value well compared to other bikes and the cost of operation is not bad. I'm also looking at the Concours 14. Is there anyone in Phoenix or other hot dry climates that can give some insight with regard to the heat issue? I can find later model ST's for relativity cheap money compared to other brands.
Thanks all!
