Which ST to buy?

**Mini Mo** · 18 Jun 07, 07:14 PM

Right then, after much deliberation the shortlist is down to the following but can't decide which one to go for based on resell value on the basis I'm going to sell it at the end of the summer, but also needs to be reliable enough lots of touring this summer.

2000 ST2 13K on the clock
2002 ST4s 9k on the clock
2004 ST3 6k on the clock

All thoughts welcomed.

Thanks

I'd go for the ST4s myself (dont you already have an ST2 ?) Although the ST3 seat looks well comfy !!

Go for the s and get a new style seat for around £160. I think it would be more saleable. the "2" would be toughest to sell

She's already got one - cant understand why she would need 2 ST2's unless it's to sit on one whilst looking at the other !!

My tuppence worth

ST2

Pro:
cheaper / easier servicing than ST4s
cheaper to buy - there are some bargains out there at the moment

Con:
Less Power

ST4s

Pro:
Bags of power
Fancy suspension

Con:
more expensive to service (watch out for rockers wearing)
Engine feels harsh compared to an ST2 or ST4

ST3

Pro:
more power than ST2
fancy clocks

Con:
cheaper suspension than ST2 or ST4s
fairing not so attractive?

Thanks chaps.

Rather keen on a 4s but need to ask about the points raised.

Bit cheeky, but in case you haven't seen the classifieds I have a luverly ST4 for sale, ultra reliable, one previous owner known by me....
