what the hell are you on????? the vfr800fi absolutely ****es all over the triumph st in every which way possible esp in the reliability stakes trust me plus the fact it is much better looking long distance sports tourer i knew someone that took one of these to italy and back with no problems whatsoever!! then carried on comuting with it a day or so later. and i knew a guy from our club that bought a sprint st and it broke down in calais me thinks you had better re-think yr motorcycling loyalties pretty damn quick unless you are a poser and not in any way a real man to motorcycling in other words an un-educated sausage jockey (a professional knob shaker)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
