I owned a 2009 GS and liked it a lot. A buddy at work told me I should get a Harley. I bought a Electra glide and loved it on the highway but hated it around town. Since I did a lot of around town driving I sold the Harley and bought a nice v star 950 great around town a bit buzzy on the highway. Neither bike was right for me. Being that the wife and I love snowmobiling. (Just purchased a nice 2 up yamaha last season) I thought I would give the new ST a look. Oh Man am I glad I did. This is the best. It's like snowmobiling on the smoothest trail ever. Great around town great on the highway. This is the best toy I have ever bought. ( I have been through a few) thanks BRP. Oh and St Boni Motor sports here in Minnesota was absolutely wonderful. Very nice to work with and a very thorough walk through on the bike. I hope I am this happy a month from now. :thumbup:
