Sold a CBR6 in August bought a STR Sept 09
Bad points (yes I found 2)
Dunlop Qualifier front tyre and Dunlop qualifier rear tyre
They were sssoooooo bad I had to get rid of them after 2000 miles still life in them but the grip was so bad there may not have been life in me by the time they required changing
Metzler Roadtec Z8's have transformed the bike into what it was meant to be
Great scratcher at weekends, commuting is a joy the engine allows you to filter as there is always power, forget gears it does not matter
touring, yes you can, get creative in fitting luggage with arrow under seat exhausts
This bike is everything I wanted, amazingly it out does the CBR on everything. Press always said that CBR 6 was the best all round bike, sorry disagree STR does it all better with a much bigger grin whilst doing it
I can see why Triumph were caught out and can't make enough, bad business model (sorry criticism Triumph) but the only one I have
I wonder how many other STR's will be at the IOM TT?
