Well, I wrecked my 2000 Sprint ST a little over a week ago. It's a total loss. I'm ok. Helmet and gear did it's job. Got a few bruises and scrapes, but walked away. Exelement jeans from Leather Up did a good job.....thanks for the kneepads.
Anyway.......I'm looking for a replacement. Been scouring Craigslist for Sprints and Daytonas. I'm still not sure which way I want to go. I prefer the 2004 and older Sprints.....I like the rounded shape. Also like the 2001 and older Daytonas and their bodywork. But, I'm leaning toward the 2002 and later 955's. The motor is upgraded, and, quite frankly, it's easier to get a loan on a newer bike. The 2002 and up Daytonas are very nice, but say goodbye to those nostalgic rounded bodies of the earlier models. I've sat upon both the Sprint without the bar risers, (my old one had the risers) and a 2005 Daytona. I can't say I missed the bar risers......both bikes felt pretty good to sit on. I did really like the hardbags on my ST. So, it's really between a Sprint with hardbags, or a Daytona.
What do you guys think?
Thanks......
Charlie
