On Thursday I drove up to Moms, near Foxboro Stadium. They always have what seems like 500+- used bikes to look at. I went there specifically to check out the ST1300 and the CTX1300. The ST is great, I really like it a lot. Didn't care for the CTX at all. Your right Ferret, the tiller bars are weird. Lifting the bike off the stand they felt almost flimsy and the CTX felt top heavy compared to the ST. Sat on probably 10 other different Sport Tourers, the BMWs were tall and top heavy for me, but glad I sat on them. Then there was the Multistada, didn't have to sit on it. There were a couple others that were okay, but the St was the most suitable. The ST I sat on was 8k, reduced to 7k and they wouldn't go lower. I found this one: http://albany.craigslist.org/mcy/5368426296.html and will call the owner today. It has higher mileage than I would like, but the price is more in line. Are there any ST specific questions I should ask the seller ? What kind of things am I looking at replacing at 55,000 miles vs 23,000 miles ?
