As mentioned somewhere else on these forums, I was looking to get the Sprint 1050ST as a second bike (for fun, rather than for carrying luggage and going on holiday etc).
I test rode one and it felt a nice bike, lots of smooth power with no nasty foibles that I found (although it was only a short run). Unfortunately life got in the way so it's on the back burner for now, but I may well consider it again in the future.
The only drawback I found was that it needs a full service every 12,000 miles instead of every 24,000 like the FZ6 does which could bump up the running costs a bit.
