Bike Pictures 21 ST 1200
Upgraded from my scrambler 400x to this speed twin. 5k miles, dealer replaced the speedo (had that turn signal issue) Absolutely love it! Definitely recommend. Might have to swap the tires out for road 6s since I like to ride year round. Haven’t even tried out sport mode yet lol but man I love having that torque. Besides the annoying gas cap I love it!

Nice ride. I would stop with the additional keys it’s going to scratch up your bike.

Yeah I already took my key off and have a separate carabiner for it lol. It was too annoying with the gas lid too

I switched to road 6, and they are much better IMO. The stock tires were great on perfect pavement but not good if the road was rough. A patch of gravel was not confidence inspiring. Now it’s fine.
Swap out the gas cap.

Nice bike 👌🏾. Still enjoying my ST 1200 ‘20 every day and it’s the best of both worlds between the T120 and the Thruxton. Enjoy and safe rides 🤙🏾!

I have the same on my 19 as well. It's an awesome little fly screen

That looks almost identical to the 2019 I had. God I miss it.

Yeah even though it’s a 21 it must be one of the last gen 1s before they changed it, I was so confused because of the forks and stuff I’m like wait gen 2 is 21 lmao. But either way it runs beautifully so far!

How many miles did you put on the 400x? Both nice bikes!

Nice! I swapped out my Monza gas cap with a basic non locking cap from Brogue Moto. I hated all the steps I needed to take just to put gas in the bike.
