Ouch !! That's gotta smart. I luuuuuuuuuv my ST. He will be transporting me about until Bubba (tentative name for Tenere) arrives. I feel for you. R
Of all my bikes Rem, my ST was by far the nicest that I have owned. I had just bought a custom Russell seat for it before Yamaha announced that they would bring the Tenere to the US. :-[

He's a handsome devil, all right. It would be a tough call to have to get rid of him. After I get my Tenere, I hope I'm not faced with that decision. I hope to keep them both. I may have to sell the cars, the tractor and my banjos, but I don't wanna sell my ST. I would be psychologically scarred for life. I would have to move to a monastery and never be heard from again.


Yeah, yeah ... I hear all you guys. No, it won't work. I'm not going anywhere. Give it up. R

Europe .... Made in Texas
Oooooh that's a beautiful Pan European ... I had one in that colour. Absolutely adored that machine. I'm determined to have another. I wish you hadn't sold that.

When we start riding two up again, I think there will be one like it back in the stable, for the time being, missy wants her own ride, I don't mind, lets me push the envelope a little as well.

Rider Magazine June Issue has a Shoot-Out between the Wee-Strom and the Tiger 800. Should be interesting.
before it comes out let me say that the tiger is going to blow it away in power, braking, suspension, ergo's and PRICE! They really have to include a closer match. How about the BMW800 GS/vs /Tiger, now there is a closer match.

I liked my ST1300 as well, except for the engine heat on my lower legs- which finally got to me and replaced it with the FJR.

BTW, there is a guy in Denver I ride with that has the same exact COLOR Russel seat as yours on his ST1300! Never thought I would see another like it.
