Hi, I am current weestrom owner - I share the wee with my wife - and I also own the 'other' ST (ST1300). The ST13 is getting a little long in the tooth, and I find myself riding the wee more and more, especially for commuting. Have been thinking about replacing the ST13 with a Tenere or similar. I am a former BMW owner who has decided not to go the GS route.
Since I usually buy used, I have been watching for STs to come up on Craig's list. They are relatively rare in the Vancouver area, probably due to disasterous rollout by Yamaha Canada ("order one, pay full price, and we'll let you have a look at one in person").
But, suddenly, I see three used ones for sale locally. All have very low mileage. One has only 400 miles on it. The others are under 4000 miles. So my question is, what do you suppose is causing owners to change their minds so early?
