I rode a Sprint ST for about 20 minutes on a combination of back roads and highways around Jacksonville FL. I found it was a more committed riding position than the FZ but I found it quite comfortable. It is definitely on the sport side of "sport touring" but it is a bike that I could ride all...
I am a mechanic. Unless I need a bunch of expensive special tools I will handle everything myself. After I had my rims scratched by the only "trusted" local shop I started saving for a NoMar tire changer and balancer so I wouldn't have to outsource that any more.

You are right it is a 1000, sorry about that, but I still will never get another Scorpion product. If I had abused the lid I would not be so hard on it but it has lived a good life.
