No Issues Mark

My comment is really directed against the previous owner but then maybe he decided the ST2 didn't have what he wanted and chopped it in for something with more native oomph.
I am very happy with the performance, its got more than enough for me, my 1200 Trophy (deceased) had more grunt / torque out of the box but I could never use it, the big fairing meant cruising speeds of 120-130 where like cruising at 70 on the ST2 and I am surprised (lucky) I never met Mr Traffic Cop!

I have fitted an aftermarket touring screen which overcomes the being sucked off the bike at 90+ problem but I am not sure, that its the best thing for my license.

I know I should practice restraint, however once on the bike and when that grin factor steps in!!!

Sorry Officer!
