You're right, it's light, agile, many say it is perfect for 2-up riding--something I'll never experience. But it sure is easy to ride!

Anyone can ride straight and fast, but it takes skills to ride really slow maneuvers well. The ST makes slow maneuvers easy.Thanks for the nice words.Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-15383325920387213652009-07-27T20:00:49.448-05:002009-07-27T20:00:49.448-05:00Drinking the "Kool Ade" scares me a bit....Drinking the "Kool Ade" scares me a bit. Have a client that has a very sweet R1150. I think I could be easily smitten. The 800 seems like a nice size. Plenty big to cruise on the highway, yet small enough to be efficient and economical.cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-4708682548280421012009-07-27T14:30:55.639-05:002009-07-27T14:30:55.639-05:00Sharon:

It does help keep the bad habits in check and it's always humbling to realize how much one still has to learn.<br /><br />BTW, I know you've been eyeing the ST, right? Or did I dream that. I think I read it somewhere...If so, as Jack would say, "drink the Kool-Aid." BMW is one of the few dealers that allow test rides.
