Looking down you can't see the motor in the ST, too much gas tank and fairing in the way, and I thought " what is with Harley?" ( or Indian for that matter). A bike like this could have a rubber mounted or counter balanced V twin engine in this bike, it could even be liquid cooled. The powerplant is really a small part of the whole package and a V twin could be hidden in a sport tourer or standard or ADV just like it is in a Suzuki v strom, KTM GT or Ducati Multistrada. I wonder if they ever even consider that? It's their loss that they don't.
