just purchased mine Saturday... My Burgman (yes I said Burgman) had a nail in the front tire and was due for an expensive bit a maintenance. Took it in to a service/dealer location and just knew I had no intentions of leaving with it. I bought the Burg brand New in 08 and been with it for 27,000 miles. As I was contemplating giving it away to one of my nephews, the dealer offering me 3K for it, saved me from trying to convince my sister that I did not intend for my nephew to wreck when I gifted the Burg.
So I had known for some time that I was going to replace the Burg and I was leaning KTM 990, V-Strom 1000 or the ST. Well here I am!
Gotta say, at first second and third glance, it looks like it will be a lot easier to perform the maintenance on the ST than the Burgman.
I am just totally thrilled about my purchase..... I am in dire need of some panniers and a top box.. I miss all the storage I had on the Burg. I could carry 4 full size helmets without side bags.
Now to ride out of the initial break-in.
