Hi Guys,
I need some advice please.
I currently have a Sprint ST, ABS, that I use for my 10 mile commute into work. The route is 80% twisty country lanes, 5% fast dual carriageway, and 15% town work with quite a bit of heavy traffic filtering.
Since I've had the Sprint, I've found it very heavy in town and filtering, and to my great shame I've dropped it doing very low speed manouvres. Its partly my crap riding, but a lot of its to do with the heaviness of the bike at low speed. I find around town and in traffic its a very heavy bike. At speed its an absolute delight, and touring its brilliant.
My question to the members is this: has anyone swapped from a Sprint to a Street Triple, and if so what was the experience like?
I wonder whether for the amount of country lanes and town riding I do if the lighter more flickable bike might be better.
Your thoughts most welcome.
Cheers
