To say I like the bike would be an understatement. It is a sportbike with the comfort of a cruiser and the luggage of a touring bike.

@@muskokamike127 although I haven't ridden a ST, I can tell you if feels a bit top heavy at slow speeds. Nothing crazy, but you can feel it. I wouldn't want to wrangler it around tight city traffic. Once you get rolling, the weight disappears and it's stable and very well easy to handle. This is one of the reasons I recommend crash bars (front and back). A little reassurance in case it does go down.

Way to go, bro! First of all, you're way far and beyond most of reviewers in creativity! Second, take care and enjoy your future rides. Third, great content you've got there, it IS a pleasure to watch! Regarding myself, I just got an FJR 1300 '15 of my own just last Saturday. Had a VFR 800 '07 before. And I just love that new bike. It stays on the road like a train on the rails and it IS agile and easy to maneuver (is this word spelled correctly?). It accelerates like a sports bike even in touring mode (a little exaggeration over here). But anyways, I LOVE it, Yamaha did a really great job!
