    OK, had an 07 Sprint ST1050 ABS from new
    Decided this year I wanted a smaller, lighter, lower, nimbler ride
    SWMBO was not happy but - -
    Found a good deal on a 19 plate Street Triple 765R Low (100lb lighter 30mm closer to the ground!)
    Webuyanybike gave me a fair deal on the Sprint - off it went
    Let's just say the dealer experience was not the best
    So here it is - due to sh1t weather and a heart attack i've only done 2 50m rides - but, lived up to my expectations. Can drive/ride again from Sat 12th Sep - just need to male sure my head's in the right place :)

    I'm sorry to hear about your health problem, and hope you have no recurrence. Have fun tomorrow... but perhaps not too much ;)

    Welcome to a terrific forum, Whoosh. That is a lovely bike and I hope you enjoy the heck out of it! And that you stay healthy. Perhaps the new bike will help with that. ;):)

    Bikes are a necessity for long term health...have you ever seen one parked outside a Psychiatrist office?

    When I ride mine my blood pressure drops, my heart rate returns to what feels like it would be super relaxed as if laying on a towel next to the Caribbean sea
    Even my breathing is so relaxed it is hardly worth bothering

    And that's while commuting through London

    Best of luck with your health and I hope to hear of many miles riding and adventures from you
