The idea of one basic platform for a few different models makes a lot sense and reduces costs but I would still prefer to have the full sized wing rather than either of the other two.

I like that one better - It will be interesting to see what it comes up like with panniers, top box, and screen :popcorn

I agree, as it stands it looks pretty much like there is far too much stuff at the front and nothing at all at the back, but with some decent paniers and a top box it might look better, and it really does need a windscreen as well.

Nup not for me.....agree, needs a screen but would then look ugly with how it would need to be mounted as an after thought.

Again for me, with the current choices on the market, if I had to replace the ST, I'd look at a Goldwing if I couldn't find a low mileage good condition ST.

So so funny....I think it might look very much like my schWING if it had all of that extra STuff on it
