    I am sure it is real nice.
    It looks real comfortable.
    I do not think I would be very comfortable on it.
    Guess I would not know unless I tried it out.

      It sounds like the st 1300 is dead.But its motor lives on in this bike.An excellent 200,000 mile motor.

            Personally, im not a fan of high tech cycles....Regarding magazine articles, it seems that there was little love for my beloved 1150es other then it went fast in a straight line... in other words even magazines opinions are subjective, though more educated then me....ive ridden only one cycle built in this century

                If I pay that much for a motorcycle it's going to weigh next to nothing.

                Lightness is expensive. Heaviness is not. I don't want any.

                  If I was to buy a giant touring rig, it would need a two person seat. The HD Street Glide is now their biggest seller, and now stubby windshield are popping up everywhere. My limited experience with stubby windshields includes too much noise and buffeting at my head.

                  That thing isn't for me. Rather have the whole touring bike. FJ1300 or Concours 14.

                      Every time I hear people talking about these big touring rigs, I ask them why not consider the beast of them all. A kiwi I used to ride with before he went back home had a Triumph Rocket III and I've never ridden its like for putting the miles behind you.

                          Heavy bikes are slow for fat people.

                            So you're saying you need a light bike cause you make up the difference in body mass? I can get that, I think..
                            I personally don't like light bikes but I don't want a 1klb plastic barge either. I may have to pick it up someday.
                            I like my bikes just like I like my woman, with a little junk in the trunk.
                            But whatever..
