Except the end can, doesn't quite look right (imo)
but otherwise -bike

Loving it so far. As many will know I have been riding a well sorted gen 1 thou for the last 7 years. Decided I fancied something new and this one ticked all the boxes, my requirements for a bike haven't changed since my first gen one.
For those who have owned or ridden Sprints the most significant improvements over the ST are the suspension and headlights (which are actually rather good). It still feels like the same bike but all around noticeably better and more refined than the 09 ST I test rode last time I thought about a change. Not sure when they introduced ride by wire but its spot on.
Not starting the whole gen 1 vs gen 2 debate but if Yamaha had continuously improved and refined the Fazer rather than re-inventing it I would have been posting pics of my gen 3. Gen 2 is a cracking bike - but not what I need or want.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
