		I bought my ST on spec ... the numbers are great. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
First the good ... Very confortable for long rides not so much for short, which is OK. Big tank makes touring much better (close to 400k on a relaxing day) and the hard bags are a good size (liners cut the space but are VERY handy). Very smooth p<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">ower delivery and the perfect power to weight ratio for a sport tourer IMO. Exhaust notes are fantastic up and down!<br />
<br />
The bad ... very clunky gearbox ... thought it might get smoother over the break in but no such luck yet. Odd weight distribution makes for a very wiggly ass if you are a light rider like myself. Could be a rubber issue as well but if you feel like throwing it around a bit know your weight distribution (i.e. loading etc.).<br />
<br />
Wants to look like a sport (vs tourer) and has spec like a sport but is no sport ... <br />
<br />
A couple of tweaks away from sport wannabe and it could be the perfect tourer (as opposed to the 600+ lb panel rockets)</span>
