Little Miss STealthy is in for a major service today. Rockingham PowerSports were kind enough to provide me with a loaner.
Things that make me appreciate the spacious ST1300:
- knees bent so far I could barely put my feet on the pegs at the same time as my bum on the seat, making it very difficult and dangerous to change gears and use the rear brake
- a large load on the hands with the forward leaning posture, curling at the lower spine
- head tilted back to see where I'm going
- having to duck to see what's coming up in the mirrors, nice view of the ground otherwise
- wind protection
That said, I'm very grateful for the loaner and the experience.
