Hi All,

Currently riding a Yamaha a 2012 VSTAR 1300...but have always loved the ST1300!!. The recent price drop for old stock has me seriously considering a changeover...would love to keep both...but my other half would kill me!!

Looking forward to seeing what I am missing out on in this forum.

Cheers

Welcome Bubbles from a fellow Melburnian. I came from a similar background to you which was a 1996 XV1100 Virago to my ST1300. Best move i have ever made. Enjoy your time with us and hope we can convince you to convert.
