I'm on my second STeed now and have nothing negative to report about either of them, except to say that they don't like concrete culverts much, well my '99 didn't.
Wild Rose, It's a long story but the short version is I was on a trip cross country in '09 with two others. Made it up to Swan Hill after a lot of sight seeing, fairly tired and hungry that night so went out late on the ST to get some something eat and woke up 2 hours later at the base of a culvert surrounded by police and ambulance. Don't know what happened. Nigel,My '99 was blue and my current '95 is that greenish blue.
