Welcome! I will be replacing my ST1300 with the S10. We pass by not too far from Troy on our way to Burlington ,VT where the in-laws live. That sure is beautiful country.

Welcome sportrider! I gave my '03 FZ1 to a friend to make room for my ST. Still have my '07 Honda CBR600 for fun street/track riding though.... ;)

Thanks Swagger. He is a good track friend of mine who sold his only street bike (an '04 FZ1) to help pay for his daughters college (he has 4 other kids as well). Anyway, he's a super humble guy who's always been there to help at the track and such, so decided that we could get together more often to ride if he had a street bike. ;)

Trinc4me,

Not only are you a true friend, but I wish there were more people like you in the country.

Sportrider,

I appreciate the kind words. I see that both you and your wife have bikes to ride. I think that is really awesome! I'm hoping that the ST will more comfortable for my wife to ride with me. She didn't like riding on the back of my FZ1, but I'm thinking that the ST will be more enjoyable for her. I'll be looking to add some kind of backrest too to make it even more comfy. :)

Well I pulled the trigger guys and placed my order. I am still not sure what I want to sell to pay for the ST. KTM 950 SE? 950 SM? FJR? Combo? I wish I could keep them all, but one or two should go to make room in the garage.
