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.
