It looks a bit like our own TJ189's bike.  Well farkled "Home from Home" for the long days & nights, and the long distances

I suppose all the extras come in handy for one reason or another but way to many for me.

Way too many farkles (for me) on both bikes.  I wonder how much extra is added to the ST's already massive weight?

Oh my eyes, my eyes!! 
The killer farkle is the fluoro rims and crash bars.     :eek

I didn't see it, but I'm sure that there's a kitchen sink and an ensuite on there.
