I am starting to think that about my R100. Taking it out of my workshop today it almost fell over on me.

How old mate ? I'm just a boy .62 in a week ! It doesn't mean I don't enjoy something lighter and more flickable .The ST is a lovely bike on the road, good on dirt roads too but heavy without the engine running .
