Cheers guys for the words.... I paid cash for my ST and im reluctant to fall foul of the new model must have syndrome i had for the ST. I could just keep the ST for another 2 years and only lose another £1500 which does make sound financial sense. But no doubt if i bought the zzr and 2 years on and another £3k lost when the next new ride comes along......
I never buy a used bike for a number of reasons so whatever i buy next im gonna lose cash. such is life!
The St is a cracking bike and i have ridden it all round europe and it was spot on. I lapped the nurburgring quicker on the st than on a mates cbr6rr. My mates ride r1's and zx10's and for quick road riding the ST has earned big respect from others and does just as good 2 up.
I do crave more bhp ( only mod ive done is the tor tune and can which gives a little more performance) But the zzr just keeps nodding at me. i havent ridden one but ive sat on one in the showrooms and ergonomically its perfect for me. im hoping the local dealer will have a demo model in the spring so i can decide for certain then.
In the meantime the St's in the garage asleep for winter
