Just want to say hello introduce myself. Originally from Western Washington, work took me to Northern California for 14 years, then moved to West Texas late in 2020.
A bit more distance to cover riding from here, so I picked up a ST last year. I loved it so much that I just bought a second ST yesterday. One will be for my son to ride. We’ve been doing 2-3 day trips for several years, but it’s gotten more challenging as we’re multiple states apart now. With two ST’s, I figure he can fly in for more adventures together.
I think the ST is a great balance of handling and comfort for the sport touring segment. I’m sure that’s a common sentiment here. What a great value and bang for your buck too. Here are my ST’s.
2005 Non-ABS with 41,000 miles purchased in August for $3500. Original owner in his early 70’s provided maintenance records and had a dealer change all fluids and give it the once over to prepare it for sale. It had a Helibar riser that I didn’t care for and removed. The Sargent seat is quite comfortable and a radar detector and some other small goodies were also included.
2004 ABS model with 36,000 miles purchased yesterday for $4000. Prior ownership history not entirely known, but the most recent owner had it for the past two years and provided a receipt for an oil change, new front and rear tires, and brakes all around that was just completed. I’ll need to change the other fluids since last service interval is unknown. Stock seat currently on the bike, but a heated Corbin also came with the bike. Said it came with the bike when he got it, but he didn’t think it was comfortable. Guess I’ll see what my butt thinks of it.
