Hi, after riding my mates ST3 across France last summer, I just had to get one. Watched & waited for ten months and three weeks ago bought a shiny much loved 2005 ST3 in Silver, drove 250miles up to Yorkshire to see it on a Saturday & was on train to collect it two days later. On the Thursday took it down to French / Swiss border & back via Millau. Increased the mileage from 6,000 to 8,000 in a week. Its great, glad I waited to buy a good one, but I miss panniers, fortunately a mate had some off his ST4, now trying to source the mounting brackets.
