Enjoy it. And I hope it stays upright for you. But I wonder if you test rode an FJR1300 first...

Hmmm. As another person who has recently ridden both, I will be interested to learn Shafty's reasons for preferring the ST.
Oh. And order that new front tyre now...

I went for the bigger weather protection Hitcher - I enjoyed the FJR tho, and reckon either bike would be a good choice. I did think the ST might slow me down and preserve my licence versus the FJR, but now am not so sure! Talk about deceptive speed!

Deceptive speed is right. Not that I would ever do such a thing, but I understand that they top out at just over 240kmh (rated) in calm conditions on an unnamed road in the Wairarapa...Originally Posted by shafty
Oh, red or blue?

Red - see pic earlier in thread (Cajun posted for me) Goes in for 3M Clear plastic tommorrrow, and am on the look out for a radiator guard. I'm thinking (hoping) based on the ST1100's rep, that it'll hold its value - but then again, I may never sell it!

Is it a 2006 or a 2005?

Bought new in 2006, but was registered as an 05, - have found the frame plate, but unable to read it yet.................I heard Kevin went thru something similiar.........

Pete, did you ever source a rad' guard? I am looking at those Aussie ones advertised in BRM. I am planning a ride up to the Gentle Annie in November and that involves metal roads and the FJR rad' is exposed and looks expensive.

Can't vouch for the top speed bit, but went for a ride with one two-up yesterday and was impressed to see him close behind me in acceleration and cornering through some nice bits of road! Not sure what his Missus on the back would have thought, though he did say they do tend to ride "at pace" most of the time... Didn't seem to have much trouble matching me, anyway. But then I do ride a bit like a Nanna...
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
Kiwi back at home!
GO to REPCO or something like that and buy some boy racer grill mesh and if short of time zip tie it on for a cheap temp fix!
