Gday all.

If anybody has a used F800S or ST for sale, please contact me.

The right bike will have:

ABS, Tire Pressure Monitoring, Alarm, low km's, not left out in the weather

Any Colour/model could be ok at the right price. I am looking to buy NOW if the right bike crosses my path.

Cheers.

Further to previous post:

After testriding an S and an ST today, I think the ST is the one for me. I felt like the riding position gave me more control and a commanding view of the road. The extra fairing bits seem to make the bike look more complete. Blue is first choice, but grey could work depending on the deal.

Was very impressed with the bike. Belt drive felt nice and tight, with no lash. Interesting to notice how much noise chains make - first time I've ridden a bike without one. The fairing on the ST must mask a bit of engine noise too, as I think I heard more mechanical engine noise on the S. Nice torque down low but the rotax didn't mind revving either. IMHO definitely needs a more open exhaust to let the twin-music out...
