    Hi there - just bought this little beauty - 2018 ST R
    Can't wait to get on it and ride!

    Lots of good roads out there waiting in BC Canada.

    Any Van or Port Coquitlam riders here??

    for ones I owned way back:
    Honda CB350
    Yamaha Seca 750

    Ridden more recently :
    my son's classic Honda CB 750
    his newer Yamaha FZ09 and his wife's Kawasaki Z650

    I was looking at Bonny Speed Twin but it didn't feel great when I sat on it.
    Also looked at KTM 790 Duke - didn't;t like the sound of it

    I think you will love that bike, once you crank on the throttle in track mode.

    Welcome to the family. That's a real cool steed there. You will love it. That triple really does sing a sweet song. The inmates here will love the picture and intro.
    Regards & Ride Safe.
