Anyone ridden the R1200ST?

Has anyone here ridden the R1200ST? I had the Rockster in for the 10,000Km service the other day, and was given a 650GS Dakar as a loan bike. Came back before lunch to pick up my bike and there was this ST demo out the front. Talking to the salesman, he said "you should have taken that as the loaner" Doh! I still love the Rockster after almost a year of ownership, and the mileage is accelerating-half of that figure has been done in the last couple of months. I work 320km away, there and back each week--in fact, a flooded coastal river had me diverting inland the other week, and it was a 450km trip home, and the back roads were pretty ordinary in a lot of places, but she still held 130km/hr over narrow, bumpy bitumen. I fact, that seems to be my speed everywhere. That Wunderlich sport screen is great.... .Anyway, my point is, 99% of my mileage is on the highway(our town is the size of a postage stamp in the middle of nowhere)And I'm not old or fat enough for an RT How does the 1200ST stack up?
