The thing that has always put me off the st4 is the headlight, looks like a guppy. Now, if they had continued to use the angular headlight of the st3, that would have seen the st4, for me, been a better bike to look at. Like the retro air raid shelter/arches garage though
Funny that, because what I don't like about the ST3 is the VFR style headlight. As for others liking 'younger models', I don't like naked bikes, so all that's left as an alternative for daily town/City riding is the new SuperSport, and it's not as quick as the ST4. She's a bit of a milf I suppose, but we still love our wives even after 20 years, don't we???
