Hello from Kennett Square PA . I have a grey 13 non es. I'm almost 50 and I bought this bike strictly for the suspension and I'm very happy with the bike . I am a long time Honda man And I'm embarrassed to say that they don't have a bike in the Us that I would buy new today . I do have a cherry 07 Honda St 1300 that has 50,000 mi and a 09 FZ1 that's WAY too fast for me and I think I've spent more time modding that bike than riding her! I'm stripping the rims now and getting ready to powder coat them myself !!I was not in the market for a new bike but I could not pass up on the deals they were giving at Christmas on the S T . I only have 988 miles on the ST so far but every mile was ridden below freezing in some sort of snow, sleet, freezing rain. This bike handles great this is my first traction control bike and I really dig it . I just hope my TC skills won't diminish!!
So the bike was set up perfect for me I didn't have to touch or adjust anything . The suspension is my favorite SUPER PLUSH !!
Now there is a few things that baffle me #1 what is up with the friggin kickstand ?? will the bigger plate for the bottom make the kickstand easier to grab to put down.
Why is the rear wheel so hard to spin ? When I changed my motor and gear oil I noticed that the back wheel does not spin freely . The brakes don't sound like they are rubbing and the bike is really hard to push around the garage !! I've averaged 45mpg.
The motor is my least favorite thing and I've never had any of my bikes Re_flashed and from what I've read this will be the first . I would like to get at least a pipe but this bike has great engine braking and I don't wanna mess it up.
PEACE. Lonney
