And I saw this.
And I sat on it.
And it was good.

Looks nice, but just how big a dent would it make in your wallet?

I think it's around $12k US dollars, which isn't too much out of line with similar bikes. Well, there are no similar bikes as new models anymore but it's not outrageous, just real expensive.

£8049 here I think which isn't bad, but you can get a Triumph Sprint GT for £8500 which is a bit of a bargain.

Mmmmm... I love the Sprint, but prefer the ST model.

I had a BMW F800ST a few years ago (2007) if memory serves me correctly........
It was a nice bike but I found it a bit Bland and a bit Revvy, no torque worth mentioning which was surprising for a Twin.
Only did less than 500 Miles before I traded it in for my second Suzuki AN400

Swapped that for a Suzuki Burgman 650, traded that in for a Suzuki DL1000, traded that in for a ....... etc etc

Yeah, the servicing costs would be my biggest concern. I will probably never buy the bike because of that one issue. Sure do like it though, wish there was a Japanese equivalent.
I've heard about the bland motor from a few riders Norm, I hope they injected a bit of torque in the GT version.
