Hi.
The names Stu Massey from Papamoa Beach NZ.
I've been riding bikes since an early age, started off with an early Yamaha 80 when i was 7-8 years old and been on and off bikes for years (Yamaha YZ125, Suzuki GS450S, Kawasaki ZX10, BMW R100RT to name a few, plus farm bikes and quads) but as always had to curtail my "fun"with getting married and had to be a little more responsible with having children etc....
Now that the children have all grown up and left home, i now have the opportunity to get back on 2 wheels again...
So I have recently purchased a very tidy 1997 ST1100 (non abs) in green only done 80000km, previous 2 owners had definitely looked after it. Its pretty much standard with a Givi top box, higher screen with a Laminar Lip.
Many thanks to all the posters on this forum, it really helped me decide on an ST1100 as my next bike, I didn't want a crotchet rocket so looked at the touring options, was leaning to going back to a Beemer but the feedback on this forum and the condition of the bike i was looking at helped make the final decision, and the price was "right".
Cheers from NZ
B
