Hi, I have been looking through the site while evaluating the super T. I currently own a 2002 BMW R1150GS and wanted to upgrade to something more modern. After test riding the 2014 R1200 GSA and 2014 Triumph Tiger Explorer, both of which were awesome, I decided that I was just too pragmatic to drop $20K on a motorcycle when I can pick one up that is almost as good for almost half the cost. The ST is not the most sexy, but I believe it has what I am looking for: value, reliability, low maintenance, low TCO, good gas mileage, etc. The boutique bikes are definatly sexy, but too rich and needy for me.
So, I put a deposit down on an ST that I will pick up next weekend. My only concern with the bike is boring performance but you guys have convinced me that the ECU flash will wake her up. I may do that after I install the other requisite farkles.
Anyway, I am glad to be part of the cult and look forward to meeting many of you. I hang out in the NC mountains on the weekends and camp to minimize costs. It is great to see that may of you camp as well and who are as pragmatic as I am.
