Yep - since I came from the Boxer world, having owned an R1150RS, I naturally considered buying an ST and test rode one. Very nice and easy to ride bike - seemed like it would be a fun bike to own. Reasons I didnt choose it are (1) pretty ugly looking bike (2) not worth the money and (3) K1200S is a much more formidable ride.
If I were to go back to a Boxer engine bike, I'd consider the R1200S which seems like a much more fun ride and well suited to an occasional track day.
I looked at it, but the riding position of the K1200S and R1200ST were both too aggressive compared to the -R...
I think the graphite/silver, blue/silver, black/silver, and red/silver STs are pretty good looking bikes, the whole cyclops headlight thing notwithstanding.
Not such a fan of the blue/black and red/black combinations.
