Ive made up my mind to keep the ST1100 for now and sell the BMW.   after riding each one for a week.  the BMW is harder to turn in the slow.   Its like my buddy said, turns like a pig.  and being 6' tall its actually not a great fit unless i put the seat all the way up, then im on my tip toes and have to lean forward like the st1100.   Ill profit $500 or more on the BMW when i sell it and purchase a nice seat for the honda.  The ST1100 engine is much more smoother than the beemer.  Still not sure on gas mileage , i heard the st1100 only gets about 36mpg and the bmw prob gets about the same.

I think it was great that you had the choice between the 2 bikes...nothing like a V4 for smooth power  ;).
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !
Do your BEST...nobody can take that away from you.
