It still kills me to see my old SV in another's garage.  The ST1300
does make a nice replacement though. ;)  It isn't as much pure fun to
ride, but it opens a lot of long distance options I couldn't consider
before.  400 miles along the Blue Ridge killed me on the SV, but the
ST does that and another couple hundred.  Everyone should have one,
maybe not as a daily rider, but as a community bike you can ride when
you need it.
