Hi all,
I'm Andrew and recently the new owner of a '03 Candy ST. I've been lurking for a while, taking in some of the tips for mods and farkles, and so far, the ST only has Staintune pipes and a sheepskin seat cover. I'm yet to fit my electric screen kit, and I'm waiting on a tankbag, mirror and fairing deflectors, and a few other small bits and peices.
I come from a Yamaha MT-01, which I still own and will continue to own, as it is a keeper and a wonderful bike to ride; at least solo anyway. Which leads me to the reason for getting the ST. My ulterior motive is to encourage my wife back into riding a bit, well at least at first. I did my homework on tourers, and being the previous owner of a CX500 and knowing it's capabilities and reliablility, I though it a natural to include Honda ST's in my list of potential bikes. Through a process of elimination, I ruled out all but the ST (either 1100 or 1300) and a Yamaha FJR, but in the end, the pendulum swung the Honda's way, and I'm not disappointed in the least. Smooth, comfortable, light (once moving) and easy to ride.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to putting heaps of K's on the ST, and drawing from the collective knowledge of the group to assist me in a few mods and decisions involving changes for the better,
regards
Andrew
