I just thought it was funny that the ST forum had a place to log tip-overs. It really didn't feel that heavy taking it of the stand or leaning it left and right a few degrees standing still. I'm still seriously considering the bike. I wonder what I should name her ?
I sold my original 2003 ST that I rode 99,000 miles to buy my new CB standard just 3 weeks ago. The heat issue was quickly dissolved by applying the hard rubber tank pads from Honda. The person who bought my ST had the very same bike....except his had 253,000 miles on it. No kidding. It was completely sun faded and had a blown rear shock, fading clutch and paper thin brake rotors. If you are just out cruzeing around, it will still heat up but if you are wearing proper gear, it's not noticeable. I tipped mine over 3 times in 13 years and each time it was in the garage. Read Rider magazine's shootout in 2007, the ST was a clear winner. I called mine the Road Warrior because I took it to 40 states without a whimper.
