Own a cruiser.. but got a serious crush..

I ride a 2005 Shadow Aero 750 (see sig pic).

I have a crush though--- on the Honda ST (cc yet to be determined).

Two problems--- I'm short- only 5' 1/2" (not even 5'2") -sport bikes are usually too tall for me. :o

Oh, and there is of course the fact I don't want to fork out $9k right now.

Anyway, any thoughts on the Honda Sport Tourers? Advice for midgets?

Oh, and do you have a REALISTIC bike crush?

:popcorn:

ST's are in my opinion the best bike to meet all your needs. Its not the greatest at anything but it suites all needs reasonably well and even out-performs some specialty bikes in their own market. Powerful, handles well, removable luggage, decent wind protection............ great bike.......... I loved mine. I hope you find a way to get one!

I like the Triumph Bonneville - maybe getting one someday for my wife if she decides she's ready to upgrade from the teeny tiny Honda she's got now.

With some bags, a windscreen and maybe an upgraded seat, would be a good little tourer. Low seat height (29.4"), light weight (under 500lbs.), looks cool, and the base model can be had for about $7k if you shop it right.
