My husband grew up in small downstate Illinois, Allentown. Actually, I detest the highway but had so little time yesterday that it became the only way to get a nice ride in. I recall driving through Rantoul (four wheels). Kickapoo is on my list to revisit (first trip was in a car many years ago). Sites appear as new when I get there on two wheels.Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-88001893210054099462008-05-27T17:45:00.000-05:002008-05-27T17:45:00.000-05:00Countersteer, I plan to write a detailed review of...Countersteer, I plan to write a detailed review of these differences...the ST windscreen is wider and its angle backwards is set lower. The SV is more narrow and its slope angle is say, 45degrees versus the ST's 30 degree slope--does that make sense? I hear a lot of ST riders complain about the wind hitting them in the chest. I'm certain because they sit taller in the seat. I'm almost 5'3'', I found the wind protection to be very good and not hitting me in annoying places. I felt the coverage was wider than the SV--but I was fine with the SV too. I also felt the ST was a bit easier to handle when hit by an unexpected wind gust! It seemed more stable and I presume that has something to do the the bike's design and its heavier weight?Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-55233890578737157302008-05-27T14:41:00.000-05:002008-05-27T14:41:00.000-05:00Champaign is a great trip.

The road is in good condition and slightly more scenic taht I-57. My wife and I rode down to my father's place just outside of Kickapoo State Park. It's a park that you should add to you list to visit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481520310765271676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-47385792866423834782008-05-27T09:10:00.000-05:002008-05-27T09:10:00.000-05:00Does the ST have a lower, angled windscreen than t...Does the ST have a lower, angled windscreen than the SV? Seems like the SVs have a more vertical wind break. What do you notice about the wind blast?Countersteerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628773267961591768noreply@blogger.com
