I think im in need of a change, How does the VFR compare to the ST4S??

I have heard the suspension on the VFR is abit crap? I love riding the ST4S, but it is really pushing me to my limit with it!! I am looking for an alternative.

It was just a thought really as I was really pissed off with the Duc! I have however found the problem but I'm going to take the winter months to sort it out. I'll stick with the Duc for the time been!

To be honest erik it's down to cost, if I could afford to spend ÂŁ50 and hour I would just scrap the bike and buy a new one! To do the work again is going to cost me about ÂŁ150 as I now have all the equipment ready, its just a case of the time. I will get it sorted in the end!! I just need to be 100% sure of my measurements this time.

Thanks for your opinion furylow, it was just a thought really. It seems any bike that I get is going to have its issues, I think I will take my time and battle on with the 4S and hope! that I get a good bike in the end. I have done lots of other stuff to her and I don't want to see that go to waste.

I seem to have that idea about all the jap bikes to be honest. Anyway if i sort this one out I will know whats done to it. Better to do that than start from scratch maybe?

So it seems any bike i'm going to get it going to give me trouble at some point!! I might aswell try and sort the problems out on the ST4S! And then prey it is sorted out.

Don't get me wrong I love riding the 4S, I also have an ST2 which has been a fantastic bike and I have now passed it on to the girlfriend. I just have to say enough is enough, I cant keep throwing money at this bike!! If I can get it sorted out which I am trying to do then I may just change my mind. I think this bike has some real character and really puts a smile on my face, but it also makes me want to kick it around the garage!!

Oh there is nothing wrong with the bikes handling, I just want a bike that is more reliable. I will have to sort the ST4S before I get rid of it anyway, but I am thinking about something to replace it.
