The Steed that replaced the SV
After 8 years of having an SV i decided it was time for a change. I want to do more touring and longer trips so decided to get a new bike.
BMW F800ST, 2006/56 with full BMW luggage. I've not had much of a chance to ride it properly yet, but so far it's imense fun |

Nice! I'm turning into a bit of a Beemer fan. I've a feeling that my next purchase will have BMW written on it, very nice

I just checked the insurance for a 57 plate and it's £276 for me; 1 year no claim and held license for only 1 year......that's got to be a great deal!
This makes the bike even more appealing |

Re: The Steed that replaced the SV
Oh yes! Mine is cheap too, much cheaper then the SV was. Not to mention the ST is also much better on fuel. On the SV i could get 45MPG on average. With this i am currently getting 58MPG and i'm not hanging around on it.
