Not exactly but close enough.My last bike was a 955 Sprint ST that I had for ten years.I was looking for another ST when I saw this RS with 6700 miles for £1600.It was too much of a saving over a comparable ST to pass up.I've since fitted my old ST panniers,heated grips,centre stand and ST bars so it's pretty much up to ST spec now.

Closest i've come, is owning 4 Suzuki Bandits, but different Bandits....
MK1 6 & 12, MK2 12 and the 1250.

I wouldn't want the exact same bike i've owned before, there's always something newer and better to own.... also my taste and requirements in bikes changes.

I think you're right, it's like going to the same hotel again - you know what you can expect.
