Thanks Shaun, it's always nice to get an owner's impressions. I've ridden a couple over the years, and find I can actually stay on one comfortably, for longer periods, that other sport bikes with rearsets and clip ons. I'm 6'0" with some pretty long arms as well.
Todd, I've actually looked at and ridden an ST. Fantastic bike in every way. Just not quite what I'm after. "Versatile" is usually good, but I'm looking for a very narrowly focused, single purpose toy. As impractical as they get. That's actually part of the appeal.
Maybe it's a "mid life crisis" kind of thing. Problem with that is, I already own motorcycles; always have, always will. I already own a completely impractical sports car - a heavily modified, track oriented early 911. I already play with guns, and have hunted dangerous game. I have very few unexplored avenues of foolishness and irresponsibility. I suppose I could dump my wife of 23 years, but I actually still like her. She's a lot of fun to be around. Why, she even said "do it" when I mentioned this hair brained idea.
