The ST1100 is noted for being a bit cramped for those of long lower limb. The ST1300 addressed that to some extent with a height-adjustable seat but I still read of complaints from the over 6-foot-2's...

Also I suspect that anything with a litre-plus engine could be a crippler insurance-wise for a first ride... I'm really really old but with no recent riding history they still stung me 2.5 large plus half a K excess... and the Pan Euro's are hardly sports bikes.

wedgle, have you tried "yamaha Insurance Services" 08700 747 744.

Just renewed mine (05 R1) for £559 fully comp.

£450 excess
Legal cover
UK recovery
Full European assistance
Pillion cover
Unlimited mileage
Travelling to and from work

That includes a total loss after virtually snapping my 04 R1 in half, at the end of 04.

A good call for those duties mate.

Oggs,

C3's well out of his depth - and can only come out with "jokes" stolen from Jeremy Clarkson

Pi$$ off to your farmer's forum!
