    Hullo - I'm new to the site, and this is my first post. I'm 66 y.o. and have been riding (usually other people's bikes :laughing:) off and on since I was in my early teens. A bit over a year ago, I bought a brand-new Street Twin 900 Chrome Edition and set out to do some basic cosmetic upgrades like tail tidy, LEDs, seat, etc. This bike is so much better than the Yamaha XSR700 it replaced, it's not even a comparison.

    But I've learned that I'm not all that keen to gear up for every ride in the thick humidity of the SE USA, and the "ride or die" mentality is a thing of my youth. So the bike mainly collects dust in my garage.

    Having said all that in my newbie intro, anybody want to buy a lightly-used '23 ST900 Chrome Edition :cool:

    Hello! Sorry to hear that you are not keen to gear up for riding often enough to warrant keeping the bike. I am 63, and live in NJ and my son lives in Winston-Salem. Yes, it gets hot, but I still find the motivation to ride; the Great Smokies are among my favorite places (I trailer the bike). I still enjoy the ride, and have optimized my gear to stay as comfy as possible on the bike: vented boots and a mesh jacket go a long way. I hope that you get your price for the bike! Maybe it's time to get a convertible car? :)
