Hello, I'm Newbie Steve. I was looking at sport touring bikes, and wasn't pleased with any of them and a friend suggested that I consider an adventure touring bike. I tried several and had about given up, when the opportunity arose to test drive an ST. I instantly fell in love...exactly the bike I was searching for, and in my favorite color - Yamaha Blue!!! I've been reading the forum to get ideas on how to make an already great bike even better. Making a list and checking it twice...
